Toads Are In Your Eyeballs

Toads are in your eyeballs! Wow! Let me see.
They are invisible, he told me, glaring.
Okay, I agree.  But they are there right?
Not now, he says, with a huge scowl. You scared them off.

I have five minutes, I say. Tell me how it happened.
His arms are crossed now. He stomps off.
What did I do? I ask his mother.
Hard to say, she replies. Maybe it is because he thought you did not believe him.

We both laugh
A door gets slammed hard.
Twice, just so we know it was no accident.

Gershon Wolf July 30, 2019 at 1:30 PM The title itself is worth the read. 'Toads in Eyeballs.' What will you conjure up next, my imaginative friend?! :) gw Caren Krutsinger July 31, 2019 at 4:26 AM It is not fully me. I get some of this JUNK given to me in my sleep! Other times I am just watching Forensic Files, figuring out how I am going to become a forensic scientist and BAM something like this hits me between the ears.
