Fingers in My Ears

 

 

My brother Rick, loved to trick.

One day I decided it was making me sick.

No matter what he'd try to say,

I'd hold my ears..and turn away.

As it played out, he was turning a new leaf.

Our mom made a cake..and asked him to tell me.

He followed behind, each place that I'd go.

All the while, I thought he was mocking...

but he just wanted to let me know.

Looking up into my face..

he mouthed the words, so I could see.

I ignored and smugly sang..

" I don't know what your telling me. "

That day he had a treat..

as I sat in dumbfounded tears.

For all the while, as he was speaking..

I had my fingers in my ears.

" Ha,ha! I can't hear you. "

Laughing..I thought I was wise.

Yet my little game of ignoring him...

became my own demise.

No desert for me. I thought I was so slick.

Shocked, as I looked through the window..

and saw who was eating cake..Rick.

 

Shakti must be trying to lighten my heart.

I've had a rough day, and suddenly..she brought laughter..

in the form of poetry.

Aw...how sweet.

 

Thanks Shakti..for thinking of me.

 

Love,

Tara
