THE “STACIE” SURPRISE

My work ended early last night,

Snowfall was steady but slight…

But I was sent home

Earlier though,

I had a delivery that night.

–

Stacie is one of my friends,

Who appreciates odds and ends…

Of poetry

Delivered by me,

She says they keep her from wit’s end.

–

Last night I printed a bundle

And to her store did trundle…

But called ahead

To see they were read,

Was happy to over there rumble.

–

What joy when Stacie answered

My phone call and was “entrancered”…

To receive more

Of my personal store,

The latest from Christmas I’d “lancered”.

–

I’d also given my book*

To Patrick as a gift to look…

At Christian poetry,

Especially free,

He eagerly thanked me and took!
