At least a Pumpkin

Everything is ready

Set up

And now it is time

You brace yourself for the treasure

Waiting she growls in protest

I look down to see a rumbling grumbling stomach

“You have got one serious appetite”

“Get on with it,” she cries

I take a deep breath

And shut my eyes

I hear a beat “Oh no, not my heart too!”

I think I’m turk-in out

“You mean, chickening out says a voice”

But I don’t I beg for a chariot to take me away

Why didn’t I have a fairy godmother?

Oh even a pumpkin would be enough

Maybe just one peek

I have never had such meat

I see out stretched arms

The poor bird is gone

Yet I am relieved

I grab a piece of bread instead.
