sometimes a placid face
hides a playful heart
that waits like a child
ready to pounce
when you are looking the other way.
just like the old man
sitting beside you on park bench
casually says something to you
before walking away
and you realize the joke was on you!
what a comparison! great lines
thanks a ton!

yes
We all hold our childhood selves at the core– fun verse!
very true
Nicely done
