Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

I Get To Leave Early

They come prancing in, all excited
Because their parent has arrived 
To take them home early

I keep my mouth wisely shut
Not mentioning the dentist
The doctor or the Covid shot

Knowing their idea of a trip to Disney World
is not happening

Bill Baker November 17, 2021 at 11:11 AM Thanks Caren, a light verse was just what I need right now. One event happening, but many ways it may be preceived. A poet friend, Bill Caren Krutsinger November 18, 2021 at 1:37 AM Thank you Bill

Darlene De Beaulieu November 16, 2021 at 11:19 AM Hello Caren, well the children are excited to leave early. Without the reason why. Hugs. Darlene De Beaulieu November 18, 2021 at 11:04 AM Hello Caren, yes that would be an disappointment for the children. Hugs. Caren Krutsinger November 18, 2021 at 1:37 AM They sure are - until they figure it out. Many are brought back after the dentist, the doctor and the shot.
