Edward Ibeh Poet Narrative

With Strings Attached

"To get what you desperately covet, you must go the extra mile!' - quote by poet


                Let me tell you a story 
             About a tween mama's boy.
                 One fine day, unasked, 
                  He suddenly started
               Trimming all the hedges 
              On the front porch, a first. 
             It's a job always delegated 
                 To his older brothers. 
          Mom looks on with amazement;
                   Pleasantly surprised.
              She gives her youngest son
                   A kiss on the cheek
                     And says to him,
  "Thank you, baby. You're doing a great job!"
                  After finishing the task,
      Mom wraps her son in a snug embrace.
          Then came the moment of truth.
                            "Mom?"
                 "Yes, hon," she replies.
   "Could you please buy me an Xbox headset?"
