Oh Gosh!

Oh Gosh! By: Lauren Jernberg

Sitting on the porch waiting

For the paint to dry.

Paint can on my right can opener on my left.

Got my lemonade and bendy straw

With half a sandwich left from lunch.

My adorable kitten purrs as I

Pet it. A sprinkler is on in the

Neighbor’s yard creating a rainbow like arch.

I am reminded of home.

Being with family and having a good time.

It didn’t matter where we were as long

As we were all there together.

A kite flies high above me.

Children are laughing as they attack

Each other with silly string. Others

Are in an intense conversation about heroes.

I decide the best hero is one who protects

Who they love. The telephone inside rings.

As I walk in I notice cake crumbs form the

Hawaiian themed party last night.

I pick up the phone and it is the IRS.

They are looking for a guy named Joe.

 They have the wrong number.

I write on my chalkboard things I

Need to do. I add practice the cello and

Go to the desert to my to do list along with

Visit a light house. I look out my window

To see Abhishek frolicking through a field.

I walk to the couch to watch TV

Obama is speaking and I fall right to sleep.

I have a dream where I am at the beach

With Benjamin Franklin. I am filling a sand bucket

When a mermaid asks if I want to go to Atlantis.

I say of course but how. She tells me to brilliant.

This is a dance move and I am in a castle

With King Hennery  the eighth. He tries to kill me

Since I am his wife but not before

I grab an icicle and stab him first.

I wake up and the paint is dry.
