Son Who Watched (Chain)

December 3, 2020
By Anonymous


It all started when a young boy watched.

Watched his dad build a car.

A car that the boy was interested in.

Interested in making one of his own.

His own that he would work hard for.

Hard for a young boy to get money.

Get money was his goal.

His goal was a dream job.

A dream job that would pay well.

“Well I have to work,” he said.

He said, “First I have to go to college.”

Go to college required smarts.

Smarts are what the boy didn’t have.

Didn’t have much interest. 

Interest in driving he did have.

He did have amazing talent at driving.

Driving was his sport. 

His sport made him confident.

Confident at winning.

Winning many races as a boy.

A boy who grew up.

Up into the top 10.

Top 10 drivers in the world.

The world knew his name.

His name made millions.

Millions of dollars to get a car.

A car he worked on with his son. 

His son watched.

Son watched with interest.

With interest the son wanted.


The author's comments:

This is about a boy who watched his dad build a car. The boy liked the car so much, he wanted one of his own. He knew build a car was not cheap, but he was not smart enough to make a lot of money. He did have skill at driving a fast car, which he would win contest as a kid. He grew up and that was his dream, to make a lot of money from winning. He then had a son who wanted a car for him self.
