Peter’s Wagon picked up junk
in my favorite picture BOOK,
he rolled round the neighborhood,
finding stuff he thought was good,

someone’s trash might be your treasure,
in a flash, you’ll see it better, (like Peter..)

he swapped an old hat for a shell,
& a jar of worms for a green canteen
then he filled the shell up to the brink
with water for the birds to drink,

every CHILD sees the potential
in plain sight: your next adventure
when I was only 3, people READ to me..

a broken rake was his next prize,
with a snapped-off handle, just his size,
then a muffler he tied underneath
(so) his wagon rumbled down the street
and it sang a squeaky song, as it rolled along..

someone’s trash might be your treasure,
in a flash, you’ll see it better,
all the FUN that we dreamed together
isn’t gone, I still remember
when I was only 3, people READ to me..
