Knock Knock

Oh dear
She's here

Way out
In doubt

Knock knock
Take stock

Good day
Aunt May

Come through
Please do

More tea?
(Brew three)

Drones on
Day's gone

Ears sore
(NO MORE!!!)

Can't stay?
(Hooray!)

Bye bye!
(Deep sigh!)

Rat tat
Who's that?

Good Lord!
Aunt Maude!!!

P.S. Awtry Date: 1/9/2022 12:16:00 PM (edited) Wendy this is adorable! So glad to have found it today! I'm editing to answer your question. I came to your poems to read your fine work and read several pieces. This caught my eye because of its title. :D Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 1/9/2022 12:25:00 PM Thank you, P.S. I haven't been onto this site for months but took a look tonight and much appreciated your feedback. I wonder what drew you to look at this one in particular?

Brian Strand Date: 9/29/2021 6:40:00 AM Ah Wendy a ' story ' sequence of my form Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 1/9/2022 11:33:00 AM I'm glad it tickled your fancy,Brian!

John Watt Date: 9/14/2021 12:46:00 PM Wendy, such a clever use of footle form to describe ever so succinctly the dreaded Auntie visit. Loved your internal dialog (in parens) and your ending scene with Auntie #2 coming as Auntie #1 is leaving. Thank you for the smile ~ John Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 9/14/2021 2:14:00 PM How lovely to see you back, John. Like you, I have hardly been active on the site apart from entering old poems into Brian's contests but this just popped into my head from nowhere! I'll look forward to reading more of your excellent poems soon. Thank you so much for the feedback.
