Kid for Rent (a silly)

Kid for Rent

Today I made a sign
In letters tall and bright
You can rent this kid
He's available tonight!

My folks don't understand me
They fussed at me all day
Just because it was my wish
To go outside and play.

I wanted to play basketball
And shoot hoops with the guys
But Dad said to mow the lawn
Because it looked like cloudy skies.

It began to rain
While I was out playing
I ran inside while covering my head
Forgetting the lawnmower
I had taken out of the shed...

The rain came down
In gigantic drops
I thought to myself
It would never stop!

Not to worry I thought to myself
Tomorrow the grass would still be there
I really didn't see a problem
Sometime Dads just aren't fair.

Then there was the trash
My mom asked me to take out
And I said that I would do it
In an hour or about.

But the TV shows were funny
And then my friends showed up online
And when I remembered about the trash
I thought tomorrow should be fine...

But then I got to sleep in late
Because there was no school
Although when it is time for breakfast
I'm at the table as a rule.

I knew I was in trouble
When I heard that funny sound
That means to watch out everybody
The trash truck is around.

My mother took one look outside
Then glanced at the kitchen door
And I knew I wasn't going to make it
Before my feet touched the floor.

The truck was chugging down the street
While I twisted, tied and lugged
And as I watched him in the distance
I knew Mom was starting to get bugged.

I saw the lawnmower in the yard
Where I had left it victim to the rain
And I began to to feel discomfort
I began to feel some pain.

So I packed up a suitcase
And my favorite camping tent
And posted a great big sign
That said "THIS KID FOR RENT!"

Oh, I see some customers coming
And they look a wee bit sad
But they say they want to rent a kid
Thank you Mom and Dad!

Awe, that is so touching and funny all at once. I find it amazing the way you can reach into the mind of a kid. Still a kid yourself I presume.

That's the wonderful thing about Miss Thena, her inner "wonder child" is very much alive and active!!

I grew older but never grew up...lol

I can see that, and that's one of the things I love best about you.

I sometimes take the crown at Burger King...lol

LOL, that's funny, yet cool at the same time!

Once I went into the ER with a gallbladder attack and we had such fun that they gave me a sticker...LOL


I said "Hey! I was good, don't I get a sticker:" LOL

LOL, I would have preferred a lolly pop.

The beauty shop gives me a lolly pop. LOL

LOL, haircuts can be very traumatizing.

When I had surgery and had all kinds of tubes and IV's I put a sign on the IV that said
"I'd RATHER be drinking Diet Pepsi". I think the nurses came into my room to rest and relax. LOL

THey all worked so hard that I wanted to make them smile.

(They had poked a hole in my colon while doing a hysterectomy).

That's so sweet. I'm sure they have never forgotten you. It sounds like you went through a really rough time. To have to have a hysterectomy is bad enough, but to get a hole poked into your colon is terrible. That can cause quite an infection.

Ms. Thena, you never cease to amaze me. Your attitude is admirable. One of my missions in life is to drag a smile out of someone each day. I think it helps in this world if we laugh and smile a lot. I act like a kid sometimes too. When I was young people thought I was a smart aleck. Now they just think I am old and senile. Works for me.

You're hilarious Miss Cleo

Mission accomplished for today. Start again tomorrow.
