Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

The Call of the Mild

His life as risky as a goldfish swimming in a bowl
  As a bunny living with momma in a rabbit hole
Never crossed a street without looking both ways
  An angel in school, drawing teachers' praise
 
One morning he awoke in a cold sweat
  His trusty alarm clock he'd forgotten to set
School would start in less than half an hour
  Without a balanced breakfast, his future looked dour

So he skipped the meal, threw on some clothes
  Caught a bus without fanfare or fuss
But as he got closer and closer to school
  He saw it was Sunday ~ Was he Mr. Cool

M. L. Kiser January 11, 2022 at 4:25 PM Surprise, surprise! He had a reprieve. Enjoyed. Gershon Wolf January 11, 2022 at 6:34 PM Only a temporary reprieve, I fear. Back to his his high stress existence soon enough...

Caren Krutsinger January 11, 2022 at 1:11 PM Oh man! That would be a relief, and yet, you'd be looking around to see who noticed. Gershon Wolf January 11, 2022 at 2:19 PM Probably just as you predicted, O Swami.

Anil Deo January 10, 2022 at 9:46 PM Nice Subday-school (?) surprise. A hearty breakfast ought to follow. Shalom shalom & thanx for YOUR WORDS, GW. peace

Valsa George January 10, 2022 at 9:43 PM I see a very naive fellow, staying in a rabbit hole with his protective mother, never being exposed to the harsh realities of life. The surprise ending made me me exclaim.... 'Yikes' . Really enjoyed !
