Sibling Arrivalry
when she eventually
arrived ..
he so much wanted
to phone,
or rather, dash across
to his folks ..
with the glorious news
and to share,
his delight with them ..
but they were
both gone and he soon
remembered ..
he was still an orphan ..
oh’ how he
envied oblivious siblings
that is .. until his
senses returned to him
later that day ..
when all was good again ..
