A Box of Boxes

I have a box of boxes, like those Russian nesting dolls.

Open one and find another.

They get played with

by my two year old granddaughter.

I put some trinkets in the smallest box.

She loves to open them up, and spread all across the floor,

to find the little prizes,

for her, which are in store.

She lines the curios up in a straight line.

I try to organize by color or by size.

She wants them how she put them,

to move them was unwise.

Sometimes she makes a box tower,

but never puts them back together.

Since she has so much fun disassembling,

consolidating boxes is my enjoyed endeavor.
