Same Time Next Week

Let’s try ballerina school she said.
She was convincing, but I was leery.
I have the largest feet in this bed
my hazel eyes are far-sighted and blurry.

It will be great fun, she assured me. This cousin of mine.
I wondered about it, but she is a convincing feline.
My best efforts were pathetically pathetic at best.
I was glad to get home to my cookies and take a well-deserved rest.

Same time next week, my cousin said optimistically.
I hope she is talking to my brother, certainly not me.
