Review please! And I'll return the favor

Toymaker

With his hammer and his wood he carved the perfect toy.

A toy he could love,

A toy he could play with.

A toy that would never leave his side.

He loved the toy

And the toy loved him.

He took the toy everywhere he went,

And the toy loved being with him.

The toy liked it when the toymaker was sad

And the toymaker would always go to the toy,

And he’d feel better.

The toy loved pleasing the toymaker.

But the toymaker was given a new toy.

One not made of wood,

But plastic.

One not made with a hammer,

But with a machine.

A better toy,

A better toy it was to the toymaker.

So the toymaker took his old toy, and he placed it on a shelf.

He looked at his new toy,

His better toy.

And he loved it.

The old toy would watch the toymaker and the new toy

From afar.

And the toy would be hurt.

It didn’t understand what it did.

Or how it happened.

But it did.

Now the old toy is forced to watch as the toymaker that once loved it,

Love a new toy.

It wonders what the toymaker sees.

But it knows that the toymaker has made up his mind.

And the toy must accept,

For it can’t control the toymaker.
