Timothy and his toy soldiers

Nobody sees all his friends that are there, it is only Timothy sat on a stair.. yet in Timothy’s mind he can see them quite clearly, as he sits playing with Thomas who he loves very dearly.. now Thomas is merely an invisible friend, Timothy changes his face as he likes to pretend

So sat on the thirteen stairs in his Grandmother’s hall is ten trooper soldiers having a ball with Timothy at the bottom and Thomas at the very top marching them up and down and letting them drop.. these soldiers are only made out of tin tho in Timothy’s eyes they are real with camouflaged skin..just as well they are only in his imagination as each soldier could cause Granny’s home huge devastation

Each tin soldier carries a rifle on his shoulder and two of them hold a grenade as big as a boulder, so thank heavens thinks Grandmother for little small mercies as Timothy shouts out his commands of his contrary controversies..but her grandson is great as she watches him play, he will march up and down her stairs everyday shouting his orders to goodness knows who, as she hears him getting angry and from out of the blue

But this is what happens every now and again as Timothy plays with his commando military men.. ordering them to shoot every enemy in their sight in Timothy’s imaginary World war three fight.. it’s deadly and dangerous with bloodshed and strife as each soldier defends Grandmother’s stairs with his life.. yet its all just in Timothy’s wild vivid fascinations as he spends hours upon hours in his fantastical creations
