David Malouf once said that the most interesting thing in the world is a three-year-old child. Today’s opening line is from any one of a hundred monologues performed recently by my four-year-old grandson.
Verse 5: BYD and all electric
'BYD and all electric,
blue triangle, no exhaust.'
This boy can read, he's not dyslectic,
logos now, words in due course.
Lexus, Mitsubishi, Honda,
Volvo, Kia, Tesla, Skoda,
Ford, Mercedes: through each sign
the world yields meaning to his mind.
For some, the first code's saints and angels:
Anthony for lost and found,
Christopher when outward bound.
Others fret at kinship tangles:
who is in, who's out, and why.
Above us all, the deep, clear sky.
Me fail? I fly! 
This sounds familiar … nicely done. (But did you mean BYD? I don’t know BDV or BVD”
