Glass Dance

I filled up my glass Was full nice and plenty I turned for one second Now somehow it's empty At first I had thought Someone's messing round with me Then out of no where The glass it was shifting It was sliding on by Smooth down the counter Picking up speed The scraping got louder Just before the edge It stopped on the dime I thought to myself I'm losing my mind I fill it once more But I don't look away The water disappeared Right in front of my face Shocked and astonished From what I had seen I picked up the glass Threw it into the sink I solved the problem Yes so I had thought Turned toward the counter It was back there on top This time full of water So strange yes it was No matter what I do The glass does what it does Why this was happening I really don't know It's almost as if The glass has a mind of its own Now chilled to the bone Very spooked to the core The glass then went flying And smashed on the door Shards scattered about Water spilt everywhere There's no denying I was certainly scared But clean it I must The broom I'll go get Got back to the kitchen The glass it was fixed Now it was empty No sign of spilt water This experience gave me Feelings that bothered Dumbfounded I'm staring As if caught in a trance The glass then starts moving As if caught in a dance So out it a hurry I'll leave it all be Maybe the glass Will dance right in the sink By Troy Toney 7-8-19
