Aged 4 Blues Poem by alexander j watt
Aged 4 Blues
Had 11 cents in my pocket
aged 4 was all I’d ever owned
had 11 cents in my pocket
aged 4 was all I’d ever owned
weren’t even enough to make a call
to Santa on the telephone
Bought myself a tadpole
best friend that money could buy
bought myself a tadpole
best friend that money could buy
turned into a frog and hopped away
broke my heart I thought I’d die
Walked all the way to the bus stop
aged 4 thought I’d run away
walked all the way to the bus stop
aged 4 thought I’d run away
mum called the cartoons were on
gotta leave scapin' to another day
Got my juice now and my cookie
got my bottle in my hand
got my juice now and my cookie
got my bottle in my hand
mom says “oneday you gonna get grown up”
maybe then she’ll understand

This is so sweet and sad. My sons are 4. You made me feel a little guilty here. I think I need to pay more attention. For was seems like nothing to use is the world to them.
