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

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

Hello Caren, well the children are excited to leave early. Without the reason why. Hugs.

They sure are - until they figure it out. Many are brought back after the dentist, the doctor and the shot.

I know. I watch them go feeling sad for them.
