Surprise Package
It was early in the morning when the postman came to call
I was standing in my undies as I shivered in the hall
He said he had a parcel as I peered around the door
“There isn’t any name and so I don’t know who it’s for
Its this address that’s on it, and that is pretty plain
But, I’m afraid, I cannot find, a clue as to the name
If you sign here I’ll leave it, and then I’ll be on my way
I’ve ever such a lot of things I need to do today”
So, I signed the postmans’ docket, placed the package on the floor
Thanked him for his trouble as I slowly closed the door
Standing there and wondering in the middle of the hall
I removed the outer layers to reveal a soccer ball
A note attached with sticky tape explained the senders thoughts
I’d smashed his bedroom window and been well and truly caught
“I have you here on video, the ball, found on my bed
You’ve been exposed, the bill’s enclosed, so next time use your head”
