KNOCK KNOCK

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

 

KNOCK KNOCK

 

(1)

Knock knock smack smack

bang bang whack whack

pound pound tap tap

rap  rap-a-tat-tat

cuff thud and  thrash

swat slug and  bash

I can’t ignore it any more

I’d best go see who’s at the door.

 

 

(2)

Knock knock the creaking door

Swings wide

And footsteps on the flagstone floor

Are heard inside

Her eyes look up her face alight

Arms open wide

Knock knock she welcomes me tonight.

    Two good ones Michael.

    I hope all is well.

      Thanks Andy - yes feeling a lot better this morning and the wound has now settled down. Still feeling a bit emotionally drained and i guess boredom will settle in as I am usually so proactive but will keep a low profile until the new year.

      Are these two fine stanzas linked? Was it (1)Miss Berles knocking at the door, and then (2) you let her in?!
      Another daft thing people say: 'I wonder who that is at the door?' But how will they know unless they open the door? It does help to do that!
      Best wishes M.

        That was Miss Berles - she studdied as a Knockerer upperer at Yale.

        Aww for a moment there i thought it was going to be your pet dawg come home and overjoyed at seeing you.

        It will all end in tears.

        • Michael Edwards

          What will tear it? No dawg here but wouldn't mind one.

            My typo.... i meant the wedding cake, in tiers.
