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. 12/10/18
