SHE'S BACK !

   SHE’S BACK !

   introduction:

i am thinking of the movie

“poltergeist.”

 the charming little girl

in front of a television

blaring with static

and then the infamous words

“THEY’RE BACK”

referring to the unsettled spirits

that have their mission

of taunting, making a mess of the home.

and frightening the 

bejeepers out of the members 

of that

household.

first act:

i stayed with my mother and father

at the huntsman cancer 

hospital and institute.

though circumstances were challenging,

spirits were full of hope and cheer.

there was laughter.

there was service in every aspect

of a multitude people.

there were smiles,

visitors and magnificent flowers.

there was great news from the Doctors

and great progress from the patient.

second act:

so,

it was time for me to return home 

with heavy eyelids

but a cheerful heart.

i pulled into the garage

maybe a tad too far

how it happened, i can’t explain...

i smashed the drawer into

smitherines.

needless to say,

i did not get the warm reception 

i had hoped for.

discouraged i went to my bedroom 

only to discover

da vinci found 

noah’s stuffed animals

i could not face another upset

so i crawled into my bed.

slumber found me

but it was short lived,

“are you watching your son?”

questioned rick

i had heard the bath water running

but i couldn’t hear soap suds.

bubbles, 

bubbles 

and even more  

bubbles...

 growing and overflowing

and all of the sudden

noah emerged

goggles and all !

intermission:

i appreciated the moment for what it was...

a moment of humor and then

 i threw down the towels.

third act:

da vinci was outside.

i have a tendency to bribe him with bread.

i was walking ahead trying

to coax him in the desired direction

and dog gone that dog gone dog !

he took it..

no, bit it, right out of my hand !

finger and all.

fourth and final act:

clearly, i’m back

to the haunting of daily challenges.

i’ll pout for a bit.

then, i’ll count my blessings.

i’ll put on a smile...

and listen

for

SHE’S BACK !

only this time

 as the ghost buster...

the destruction slayer...

the bubble blower...

the princess of her palace...

it’s good to be home !
