The box looked cool

Opened easily

I was no fool

Looked around suspiciously

Should I look inside

Do I dare?

I found this box, but won’t share where.

—

I glance around

No one’s looking

Think I’ll look inside, see what’s cooking

Then suddenly “it” pops out

“It” stares at me

Begins to shout,

“You have to keep me out!”

I found this box but won’t share where.

—

It was easy to see I was in trouble

“It” wanted out, on the double!

I took a minute and thought it out

“It” looked harmless, what was “It” about?

I let it escape, no problem arose, when you open a box, you just never know!

I found this box but won’t share where.

MTB: Boxing Clever to The Bop

It was just a lark

To quell a spark

My daughter young

Wants me to go along

It did look high

I started to sigh

I’ve done it before

Not since years or more

I sat in the seat

Clamped the bar down

It started to move

I started to frown

As you can see

From my photo here

It’s obvious to me

I was showing some fear!

My daughter below

Was watching with fright

The look on my face

Gave her no delight

I think when it comes to rides like these

I’ll just stand and watch the others with ease.

Well Buzz, we did all we could
Never a matter if we should

It’s our duty to save the natives
These pilgrim dudes are getting creative

Next thing you know they’re taking over No place to live for natives, no cover 

It’s just not right so we’re taking action Killing the lot of them, cause a reaction 

They’ll think twice about bringing their band, and stop trying to conquer new lands

The Surprise

“You will be home before noon, right?” Her daughter hesitated, “I volunteer at the library till 11:00”. I had asked for morning delivery of the flower arrangement. I know her afternoons are busier. How to get her home in time and still keep it a surprise?

I had to say something. “Please be home before noon.” She knew something was up but didn’t ask any questions.

Writer’s Workshop Prompts For May 2, 2024

Sara was running for her life. She thought this might happen before she used the lock pick on the old oak door. She knew it was in there, proof and thought her father was killed for it. She no longer had the keys to his home since his death and the home was willed to her uncle.

The proof was a certificate of ownership along with the patent for a new formula to replace gas for vehicles. Sara knew where it was hidden but her uncle was always home, probably afraid of just what happened on this night.

The lock opened and Sara sneaked into the huge library, was just about ready to retrieve the papers when her uncle walked in the room. Sara tried to act calm but the uncle knew what she was after. He just didn’t know where it was until now. Sara grabbed the packet and ran out of the room, pushing her uncle aside. She didn’t stop running till she reached her friend’s home, unknown to her uncle.
