THE LITTLE RUG RAT

The Little Rug Rat

I call him my little rug rat
But Carlton is his name,
So full of vigor and energy
A free spirit that can't be tamed.

The youngest of three children
One sister and one brother,
He still manages to get it all
From father and from mother

He has a way of looking
He has a way with words,
He makes sure that you know he's there
He makes sure that he's heard.

He is such a smart little tyke
Although he's only eight,
He already has a sense of humor
And his demeanor is always great.

His answer to everything you say
Is "oh yeah, I know that",
No matter what the subject is
He has all the facts.

Some days he's quite annoying
Other days he's really sweet,
Doesn't matter which way he is
His hugs are such a treat.

Each day he makes us realize
How special he really is,
Bringing us joy and happiness
With all the love he gives.
