Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Kitchen Monster

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh I’ve got a secret to tell
I’ll whisper it to you; as I don’t like to yell

I’ve discovered a monster living in my house
It’s very very quiet, as quiet as a mouse

The biscuit tin is empty, not even a single crumb
Yet the packet was brand new, not even undone

All the chocolate is gone, oh what can I do
If I find the culprit I’ll bid him adieu

He invades my fridge when I’m not looking
I’ve not poisoned him yet as he survives my cooking

A miracle has happened since my son returned to university
I’ve not had to keep the kitchen cupboards under lock and key

Andrea Dietrich October 12, 2014 at 1:18 AM hahaha, I have one of those whenever my son Jeremy returns for a visit!! this was clever, Jan. And I was just looking to see my stand in community building. I overtook Maurice, probably for all the comments i just made on my contest poets. I am sure he will overtake me again. hahahaha. It's all good, I am fine not being on top because it is a LOT of work! Congrats to YOU for being a top community builder, my friend.
