No good news…
Someone’s left you a voicemail message, but all you can make out are the last words: “I’m sorry. I should’ve told you months ago. Bye.” Who is it from, and what is this about? – Daily Prompt
Hearing just those words, threw him into a panic.
“I’m sorry, I should’ve told you months ago. Bye.”
Was all P could pick from the background static,
As he replayed his sister’s message, again and again.
Random thoughts through his spine sent a chill,
Had somebody beloved, passed away?
Was somebody beloved, terminally ill?
Or was it just he, who was in very deep trouble?
He rang his sister who had just the other day,
Been for a visit and tidied up his home;
He was anxious to find what she had now to say,
He cringed as she told him what he needed to know.
“Oh! For months, I’ve meant to tell you,
Do get rid of your old dressing gown!
It’s full of holes, go get something new;
And take to the Salvation Army in town,
The bag of old clothes, before they get mildew.”

I hope P finds a very nice dressing gown 🙂

Well, P thinks “Old is gold” and he loves his ‘holey’, cosy dressing gown! 😀

Good for him! My dressing gown must be now 19 years old, so I can relate!

Either you have a lot of talent, relative to rhyming, or you constantly think of words to rhyme with each other, either way, hats off to P for keeping up with the tempo. The orples got some shocking news themselves. It’s a good thing they don’t wear nightgowns. Olivia would be horrified to ever have one with a hole in it, being the little perfectionist that she is. 😉

Thank you for dropping in and the comment. Congratulations on the publication of Brides! I can see it wouldn’t be nice at all for Olivia to walk around in a gown with holes! 😀
