I was a little girl with a tattered ragdoll, and I lived in an attic that was not tall; in fact, there were parts where I had to crawl. I liked to play make-believe till nightfall, and write- so I wrote on the wall; listening to dreamy gentle rainfall . . . and on that wall, oh yes, I did scrawl. Then in the morning I heard Mom call, she beheld my wall writing in great appall; oh yes indeed, it was my curtain-call . . . Mom left and returned with a can of spray Lysol. I want you to clean it and I mean all, and went away muttering- I was a bit oddball; so I cleaned it and then lay on my bed, I recall crying and holding my tattered doll. ____________________ February 8, 2017 Poetry/Rhyme/A Bit "Oddball" Copyright Protected, ID 17-873-515-0 All Rights Reserved.
