boy armed with sticks

Oliver's favorite
time of the day
is when we go into
the backyard to play.
He has recently become
a collector of sticks.
Big sticks.

This stick is probably
3x his height
and he has very little

control over it.

He likes to whip it around

Indiana Jones style.

He carries it around
with such attitude
and is the man 
of the backyard.
However, this led
the man of the house, dad,
to break his stick in half.

The upside is

now Oliver has
two sticks.
