Naughty is a better adjective, Brookes. Toddlers are like that. But no matter how mischievous they are, we still love them dearly. I remembered my only boy when he was just 2 years old, he refused to give cookies to her sister instead he hide them in the sand. He was punished for that so he won't do that again but it had amused me (I just didn't show him). c",

Yes, if actually discussing a toddler, I would never call him evil. However, this is a poem, and it's supposed to be funny. LOL
Toddlers don't actually do all those things I listed either :-)
Thanks for your review and for sharing that cute story :-) Brooke

Oh dear! Sawyer is very cross at somebody--ouch!
What an intriguing poem of villainous Leander. But mommy stepped in at the last and took control, her firm hand showing him the boundary he should not cross.

He was cross at Mommy during mealtime because he has turned into a naughty fussy eater. LOL Thanks so much, Alex :-) Brooke

Comment from Alan K Pease
Leander is a mischievous child stealing all things from the world around us that we have come as well to love for ourselves. I hope he (and we at one time or another) has left some of each for the children of the world. I am sure his mother will see to it. Is Leander Sawyer's name for another side of his personality or have I missed something?

Yes, Leander has appeared in two poems - he is definitely Sawyer's evil twin. LOL Lately Sawyer has been tossing his food at Mommy and having a bit of a naughty patch. LOL Thank you so very much, Alan, for your generous rating and thoughtful review :-) Brooke

Oh I think I know that little boy! I love the tongue-in-cheek aspect of that poem. I'd shop him when he stole eggs from Robin's nests, although i did that years ago. I really enjoyed this poem. E Vin Smyth

Comment from Lulube
Oh what a look!!! He's gonna be something for the camera in his teens, watch out. Leander, an evil and mischevious little boy. I love your descriptions of all his acts and of course with their rhymes.
Good thing mom is on the ball. Put all evil to bed.
good poem Brooke

A different type of pose from Sawyer, though one to fit your poem, stirring up your imagination, creating a profile of a evil boy, named Leander..Great, humorous rhyme. throughout..

This kid is something else, isn't he? That's why having a kid god is complicated. I guess the gods must keep their kids locked away until they learn to use their powers responsibly.

Pleasure to read.
Comment from Jackarrie
I like this one, a story in a poem, it is lighthearted, and it rhymed well. Great imagination and knowledge of young boys went into the writing of this work.
He pilfered spots from butterflies,
their wings now drab and dreary,
and plucked the silver from the stars,
the world now sad and weary.
It seemed as if there were no way
to end Leander's evil,
until his mother had enough
and ordered his upheaval.
Well done and good luck in the contest.
