What You Got In There

Hey! What is that room?
This?
Child nods head.
This is the teachers’ lounge.
What’s that?
Lightbulb goes off in my devious dendrite factory.
“A wonderful place for teachers.”
Can I see?
“No.”
Why not?
“You might tell.”
High interest now. Seven is intrigued. “I won’t! What you got in there?”
“You mean besides our PS4, bowling alley, and the Jacuzzi?”
His big brown child eyes pop even bigger.
“No FAIR!” he says.
In reality it is such
A drab, unappealing
place, I rarely
Put my toe in there.
It is just a place to
Refrigerate my lunch.

M. L. Kiser October 20, 2018 at 1:10 PM I luv it! You had him going; did he perhaps sneak back and peek in? Caren Krutsinger October 20, 2018 at 2:20 PM I doubt it as there was a rumor all day at school about our jacuzzi.

Gershon Wolf October 19, 2018 at 2:04 AM The lure of the forbidden gets 'em every time. ~ gw Gershon Wolf October 19, 2018 at 3:10 PM That's pure genius, Caren. You really should run with that idea. It would be hotter than pornography!! :) gw Caren Krutsinger October 19, 2018 at 2:46 AM If we made the Bible illegal to read, do you know how many Bibles we could sell? And people would have to READ them to fully break this law.

Rhona Mcferran October 17, 2018 at 2:12 PM This is great, so funny!!! ;D Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2018 at 2:30 PM It sort of kind of almost happened, however, I embellished a bit for poetry's sake.

Line Gauthier October 17, 2018 at 7:29 AM LOL - you are so delightfully devious, Caren! Caren Krutsinger October 17, 2018 at 7:38 AM I am a devil too; the children know it. And the teachers are starting to realize, I may tease the little ones, but the teachers know whose "side" I am on.
