Something New
If I knew that going to my aunt's place
Would end up with me on a wild goose chase
On a hunt for that prized necklace
She lost because she was reckless,
I wouldn’t have bothered coming at all.
Grandfather’s picture hung up on wall
Looking down at us
If he were still alive, he’d make a fuss.
It was a gift from him, after all.
Get out of the house, they said.
It can be a new adventure, they pled.
We are they now? They fled.
Those lying, conniving chickens,
Could’ve finished A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens
This is definitely something new
From my typical routine that speaks true.
Obviously not by turning her house topsy turvy
Although I don’t feel the slightest bit nervy.
Something new? Mom would definitely have a laugh
Although she’d say that I’ve had more than that of a giraffe.
