Time Bandits © ~ Katrina Curtiss 1.1.2024

She left it on the kitchen table

Then went to grab a bite

When she came back it was gone

She knew that something wasn’t right.

She went back to grab her drink

She didn’t know what to think

It was not where she left it at

She blamed the dog and the cat.

In a parallel universe,

They move at the speed of sound

So fast, you can’t see them

As they move things around.

The car keys that were hung by the door

Now under the rug on the hallway floor

The slippers she always wore to bed

Were wrapped around her dogs’ head.

They create such chaos as they move everything

They do it while dancing and as they sing

Move it a few inches, move it a mile

Her confusion makes them laugh and smile.

She decided to give it up

Finding her slippers and her cup

She when she is late, give her no shame

The parallel Time Bandits are to blame.
