The Kingdom of Tom
In the beginning, the boy sat in the empty room
He brought in his sets and created the world
He found the light switch and flicked it
And created day and night
He laid out green and blue
For the land and the sea
He took his toys and laid them out everywhere
Now animals roamed the land
And fish filled the oceans
Then he put down an action figure
He had created man
Soon he had filled everything with his creations
There were tales of love and heartbreak
War and salvation, death and dishonesty
All in the kingdom of his name
DINNER
The sound filled the house
He stopped and turned to leave
But not before appreciating it one last time
He sat at dinner and asked how his day was
Looking around at the table smiling he spoke
IT WAS GOOD
