The Claw
by Keith D Allison
Being the oldest now
I must bring
the claw…
To holiday events
it must be
properly display
with the chanting of words
I assure you, it will clear the room
of women and children alike
for all in the family
have known the dratted claw
To hear the movement of feet
one must begin to chant
sloooowly I turn
step by step
inch by inch
with the slightest movement
they begin to run
But there is one
who will not flee
for she
will hug my knee
with excitement and glee
she will scream…
Grandpa, grandpa
