I Can Get Out

The little girl sings her favorite song London bridge is falling down She learned it from her mommy She walks down a darkly lit hallway She ponders mommy told me to find the light switch *Hmmmm* though I can't seem to find one oh well the girl whispers the girl turns back from where she came and starts walking back the hallways painted a navy blue she holds on to one of the railings going along both sides of the wall she reaches the end of the hall from where she came in she finally sees the door she runs to it she reaches for the door handle its locked she turns it again and again I can’t get out she shouts She bangs on the door She screams Mommy mama I can’t get out the door is locked It’s locked Mommy She hears someone rush To other side of the door She can see light from below the door The lights are working now mama O That’s good She shouts Oh yes they are baby girl Can you let me out now mommy Sorry baby but I’m afraid I can’t let you get out You will eventually get out With your brother and sisters The girls cries for three days straight Mother never visited The little girl sees a light I can get out She smiles
