Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

What Are You Doing

A mouse stole my fluffy blue slipper this morning and wore it all over the kitchen
In an arrogant teasing “ha ha” way.
I was so mad!
I ran after him at first,

But I am getting fat
And old and
I am tired of chasing
After my slipper every HUCKING morning.

So I stopped and threw
Magazines, and a pizza pie, and a banana at my slipper.
What are you doing? My husband asked, 
Because he is weirdly “normal”.

So I threw the lamp that was supposed to crush the
mouse at his head.
Used to this totally, he caught it in mid-air
DRAM it!

Michelle Faulkner December 15, 2018 at 3:31 PM Congratulations, Caren, this was a hoot! Caren Krutsinger December 16, 2018 at 5:50 AM I thought it was fun, and knowing Nina's KEEN sense of humor, it had to be something OUTRAGEOUS, to get her to laugh. She says that she did....

Carolyn Devonshire December 15, 2018 at 1:55 PM Congratulations on your win in Nina's contest, Caren. Sending wishes for happy holidays, Carolyn Caren Krutsinger December 16, 2018 at 5:51 AM Thank you Carolyn. Happy Christmas holidays to you also! We get out of school this Friday and do not return until Jan 7th. The children do not return until the 8th, so I do worry about that a bit. After ruling their homes, we have to re-introduce them as children all over again.

Line Gauthier December 15, 2018 at 10:34 AM Sounds like fun at your house, Caren. Congrats on your well deserved top win. Caren Krutsinger December 15, 2018 at 12:47 PM Thank you Line. I sent Nina a little note and said DO NOT READ MY POEMS this week! She replied swiftly saying it was an unusual request, as usually people are asking her to read their poems.

Jan Allison December 15, 2018 at 9:26 AM very witty Caren, congrats on your win:-) hugs Jan xx Caren Krutsinger December 15, 2018 at 12:49 PM Thank you Jan. I am so proud of this one, as I worked hard, trying to figure out what would make someone who laughs all the time like Nina actually LAUGH?
