shakesperian sonnet

I woke up tardy and hustled down stairs.

I shouted in fright and made to turn back.

A fallen figure with long fuzzy hairs.

an outstretched arm with long fingers all black.


The puppies ran round it and moaned very sad,

Sniffed it and licked it and howled to the moon.

The oddest morning I’d recently had.

I looked at my clock and saw it was noon.


Could this be Grandma, I wondered aloud.

Why would she be here; I thought she was home.

I’ll solve the riddle, I silently vowed.

Turning it over, I witnessed a gnome.


Laughing, my sister appeared in the hall.

“You are the stupidest brother of all!”
