Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

Gremlins Live In My House

Gremlins live in my house and we are fine with it most days 
They bring cheer and joy to us in subtle elfish ways.
They are well hidden in woodwork crevices and caches.
But sometimes they get too mischievous and move our glasses 

Which bothers me little since I have forty pair. 
They seem to disappear every other Tuesday in thin air.
Mine are polka dot and flowered and from the dollar store.
Also striped, leopard and plaid, diverse colors galore.


My husband thinks the gremlins are totally unfair, 
His glasses, prescription, cost much more than my forty pair.
Hear that giggling coming from the air vent in the hall?
They are my darling sneaky fun-loving gremlins small.

Rhona Mcferran October 23, 2018 at 9:52 AM Well, at least your gremlins don't mess with your poetry writing like my "desk creatures"! hahaha This was a fun poem, enjoyed it very much! ;) Caren Krutsinger October 23, 2018 at 7:41 PM Thank you my friend. I know you can picture them running around in between the dog's legs.
