My wife goes out
To shop and escape
Leaving me
With the resting child
The door clicks closed
His eyes click open
With mischief in their core
Toilet paper flies
And cars fall down the stairs
Paints on the floor
Spread by my hapless socks
Cheerios on toy trains
Goldfish danced to crumbs
Blankie on the ceiling fan?
All with a soundtrack
Of childish cackles
About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
Hehehe love this! Especially the hapless socks
