Alana Tye Poet Rhyme

Light Socket

More times than not
my mind just drifts away
At a thousand thoughts per second
I lose a portion of the day
That's just to give you 
a brief overview 
For the story I'm about to share
with each and every one of you
One day while cleaning
a pretty crystal lamp
I doused it all in water
and got the socket damp
As I wasn't thinking 
that was nothing new
I figured I'd just let it dry
for a day or two
The time came to place it
back onto the wall
As I plugged it in, it hit me
it may not have dried at all
So forgetting of my actions 
as my mind is not that long
I put my finger in the socket
and realized what I'd done wrong
Now I've been shocked by people
by the things they do or say
But the biggest shock I got in life
was by that socket back in May!
Now in case your wondering,
"Is this story really true?"
Not my smartest move in life
But that's just one of few
