I Found a Marble

In the backyard
I found a marble
that the dog unearthed

I wondered what child
how long ago
last played with it
I'd like to know

was it 1920?
when this house was new?
1940 or 52?

was the kid nice
or a brat?
skinny and tall
or fat?

I think I'll keep it
but before I go
I'll put it back
don't you know?
