Thanksgiving Scare

serving up a Thanksgiving scare
the sleeping grandfather suddenly
sneaks up and over, like a shadow,
his grandson unaware until boo - the scare
until the son sneaks up and over his father
unaware until a hysterical scare
what a pair!
family doubled over falls to the floor
— let the bodies hit the floor
— let the bodies hit the floor*
the pyramid scheme in full tilt

When she did, I did the boo thing..lol I got slapped many a time..lol Love this...Charlie Kim Rodrigues November 24, 2018 at 12:51 PM Glad it brought back a memory...lol!
