Absentminded
Lessons were over
But there was no sight of mother
Decided to wait for a while
However patience fell victim to guile
Walking down the hill
My body consumed by chill
I hoped that the car would unexpectedly appear
To ease my mounting fear
Saw many cars pass on the main
Not one the blue Laser, leaving me on a frame
Encountered three beings on my roam
Each one assuring me that they would safely take me home
That they did
But inside there was a catch that hid
Gran greeted me at the entrance
Expressing that she did not sense mother’s fragrance
Half an hour later
Mother entered like a gator
Thinking the excitement had subsided
Another detail was confided
Feeling confused and remorseful
Couldn’t this be enough to subdue the forceful?
Out came the leather
The ordeal that transpired certainly made me wiser.
