Too Good To Be True
Spirits are high
Get out if bed
This time
No back is aching.
Spirits are high
Tread downstairs
Wave to mum
No tension.
Make yourself
A cup of cocoa
And sip.
No tastebuds hurt.
Sit down
On the sofa
Check your phone
No nasty comments.
Mum waves goodbye
Off to work
Dad wakes up
Seems in a good mood
Check your phone
For the fourth time this morning
Oooooooh, message!
Open it up…
“Hi! Just texting to say we love you.
Going to be staying at gran’s for a while
Don’t misbehave!
We’ve sent a little gift along
In the meantime.
Enjoy!”
Open a parcel
Gasp.
Auntie’s sent you a puppy.
