the silent one

One day a baby was born
so was a nother but that's a different story
The baby was all silent gooo gooo
and softly mumbled gah gahs
He was born and turned a funny yellow
they put him in the sun till he was pale again
he looked around and saw curly tops
but as i have already said that's a nother story
It was cold where he was born so he and the clan went to a sunny place
The sunny place had a week of forties when he got there
but he can't remember that
As the baby grew older
you know walking age
it was noticed he didn't talk much
That's because Curly Tops
Who is still a nother story
Would ask for stuff and the silent on would get stuff too
Pretty easy gig
Until he found out that they expected him to talk as well
One was not pleased by that
So they took him to a doctor
the doc said he'll talk when he wants to
I'm more concerned about the hole in his heart
His parents were thunder struck
The silent one thought
i wonder if it whistles.
The docs did tests and that was that
but something changed
The doctors had taken away his smile and giggles
one was not pleased about that either
Then there was school which was ummm
other people say character building
the silent one thought, i must have bucket loads of character
and when do these other kids stop helping me build my character
then unbeknownst to the silent one
the silent one decided to fly low and under the radar
stealthy and quietly he went
He learnt his words
and missed out on his numbers
and while doing all that read and read
and the one day he drew
still the character building went on
till he was told to leave
which he thought was funny
seeing he left ages ago
The silent one's story continues
but that's for a nother time

Constructive criticism welcome.
Destructive criticism to be left at a public toilet.
