Halo 4 on xbox 360
PlayStation 3
Nintendo to Wii
really don’t mean jack-50
to the inner child in me
this gameBoy’s not dead
my console’s hardwired
in my head
I see them clear as an X-mas day
Rock ’em Sock ’em Robots
fighting the Battling Tops
in the same ring
G.I. Joe and a Yo-Yo
defending freedom; free spinning
Tonka makes great trucks, you know?
to play with out in back
Hot Wheels fly and loop-dee-loop
down orange plastic tracks
red monkeys from a barrel
want to hang, dangle and fall
like that little silver ball
in Mouse Trap— snap!

Tinker Toys to Lincoln Logs
Meccano, Erector and those Lego blocks
had us building stuff with gusto
wearing grandma’s handmade socks
my sister baked a brown manifesto
in her little Easy-Bake Oven
hockey stick, a baseball glove
the Trouble dice a-poppin’
we got a new boardgame every year; to share
like that big ol’ wood toboggan
but I wouldn’t play Barbie, man
not even with Ken in my hand
maybe with G.I. Joe, though

Lite-Brite thingies up my nose
who did that, do you suppose?
Pick Up Sticks, Slinky, Ker Plunk
Operation Etch-A-Sketch
my Battleship is sunk
what’s your Clue, Silly Putty?
is she a Mastermind?
time for Crazy Carpets, buddy
on the big hill out behind
what? you got a Penny skateboard?
hah! you can’t use that until summer
dude, isn’t that a total bummer
my mom says it won’t be long, ’til you break your Stretch Armstrong

I’m Sorry! gameBoy wrap is done
memory still full
no AA’s needed
