My Two-Faced Auntie May: For Contest

Auntie May came to visit, and sat in daddy's favorite chair. I looked behind her head, but all I saw was hair. I snuck into her room. Her suitcase was on the floor. I took a peek inside, then Auntie May walked in the door. "Why are you in my room?" She loudly yelled at me. And I answered her as truthfully as a seven-year-old can be. "Well, I over heard my daddy say you're two-faced, and I was curious to see, what your other face looked like. Auntie, will you show it to me?" _______________________________ For Colloquialisms contest Sponsor: Laura Leiser New Poem: 7/19/15 The term two faced refers to the Roman god Janus who had two faces, one at the front of his head and another at the back.

This jerks at our funny bone in innocent fun, seeing the workings within the mind of a seven year old. The imagery and story line presented is quite humorous, summoning a smile at the end. Emile. #7
