MagnaTiles

 I’ve always liked old-fashioned toys -

No batteries required -

To let imaginations soar

And get young minds inspired.


Both my kids and grandkids blossomed

And creative juices flowed

As, with blocks and dolls and puzzles

They found childhood’s secret code.


Yet occasional improvements

Can enhance the tried and true,

Like the MagnaTiles my grandkids use;

Ideas come pulsing through.


Plastic shapes which stick together

So that structures can be built

They form endless combinations,

Like an old-time crazy quilt.


As I watch the towers rising,

So symmetrical and neat,

I am grateful I can witness

Such a new old-fashioned treat.
