Action Figure

Shiny, new and boxed.

Aisles and aisles

They stand tall.

The Action Figure.

Not known for their words.

Not known for their papers

Nor promises

Nor intentions.

Action Figure

Strong, tall, destined to move. To act.

Fly

Save

Leap

Climb

Fight

Punch

Pow!

Kaboom!

I want my Action Figure.

Word Figures are far too painful.

I Will

I promise

I'm sorry

I'll do better

I'll try

Word Figures. So strong in their pen. So easy to believe. I followed, trusted.

Pained.

Though these shiny Action Heroes appear so plentiful

So few they are.

And so high in demand.

Where is my Action Figure?

Hug

Kiss

Hold

Carry

Fix

Drive

Pay

Protect

Strong Shiny Action.
