Two matching dolls and twine,
Blue buttons in a line.
String from ear to ear,
Enough to cross a year.
Pink chewing gum with wrappers.
For the most adventurous of snackers.
A knothole and a boy.
A strangely similar toy.
A girl of infinite jest,
With nothing to clean from her chest.
Scout and Jem.
Jem and Scout.
Contorted in size.
Exploring false doubt.
A dangerous duo.
A curious bunch.
Always wondering,
"Hey Cal, what's for lunch?"
Whether it's hopscotch,
Or giving geese bread,
These sociable siblings
Put big dreams in their head.
A tire swing summer.
A tree house type fall.
A snowy, white winter.
They've both seen it all.
The downfall of law.
The criminals of grime.
The sinners doing justice.
The foot washers of crime.
Several dangerous tales, one protected life.
Imagine what is wild.
"Hey, Mister Ewell. Where'd you get that knife?"
