It is the day before James Lucas Carswell’s fifth
birthday - I’d guess that the way he’d see it is as
a dawn of an era where he’s no longer the baby;
youngest, yes - yet that has never bothered him,
there’s just too much to do and things to arrange
so my bet is he’ll obligingly await Sunday noon &
the Party where he’ll make his announcement of
an unambivalent maturity to siblings and guests
Being James, he’ll ensure the adults present get
the gist of his accession - with demonstrations of
acumen it’s outfitted with; how do I know all this -
he practised on me at his own behest; this’s how
it’s going to be he suggested - & Grandad you’re
much easier to rehearse with - won’t you agree!
