Saturday Afternoon Poetry, week 5


Making Light of Auntie
by X. J. Kennedy

I like to shuffle in my socks
across our scuffy carpet.

And touch Aunt Sue
and give her shocks.
I gave her one so sharp it
caused her to shoot right out of her shoes
with WOW a big blue spark!
Now Auntie Sue's the bulb we use

to read by after dark.

  1. We always need a bulb to read by at night, don't we? Thank goodness for book lights. Otherwise, one of us might get a big shock. I love you, sweet girl.

  3. When I was young, I thought it so much fun to scoot across the carpet and "shock" someone after touching them. I like a well lighted area to read in.
