Bucket Boy's Revenge

by Jennifer M. Boudreaux


Bucket Boy
Bucket Boy
Spin your round space
Open-topped space

this-a way
that-a-whirl

My Boy
Shoulder-strung boy
Wire-armed boy

Split the spills
Lug the dregs away
Flay the dray flung far

The wide-way back-jump spray

Can do
Snap to

And how
can do
right now

No clue what all Yaki can do
did do
how will do to you
all you

Bucket Boy...
Bucket Boy!

Yeah, Boss?
Sure, Boss
Nice boots, Boss!
Ooops, boss
