Little toy

Francisco Salgado 1974 (Yakima)



Once when I was a little boy my mommy bought me a little toy
I played with it till I got bored then in my closet it got stored
Soon with time I became a man I had a wedding ring on my wedding hand
I was as happy as a man could be until the day she stopped loving me
It reminded me of a little boy who soon got bored of his little toy
She played with me until she was bored now in her closet I’m getting stored
