Cereal Kid-Napper
Cereal Kid-napper…
One who randomly texts’ you
Do you want to be kidnapped today,
And apologizes when running late.
You are picked up willing and able-
No duct tape or zip ties are needed.
Instead she brings…
Banana bread or cookies
And sometimes cake.
The kids are stuck in back—
Saying Hello—Auntie Merri…
Even before I can open the door,
It is the greatest thing.
Buckled up---off we go—running errands,
Forgetting our coupons—losing the keys—(not me).
Somehow we manage to get things done,
Even though we do not know the day of the week.
Someone is hungry—(not the kids).
If we be good--She may get us a treat,
When our errands are done.
Then you are returned, safely back home,
With a tentative date of the next time
You will be kidnapped by your favorite niece.
