The Discussion
I’m
Stephanie. The sensible one.
When the
fierce crisis hit, the family held a discussion.
Mom played
the usual sweet conciliator, Dad harumphed
his way to our shared illusion of
respect.
Junior, per
usual, flew off the handle as I set out the alternatives.
Gramps
listened, and we puzzled over where he was.
But then convinced
us with alarming clarity that Option E doubtless our best choice.
Proved a
disaster! We suffered horribly for years.
Then, all
reversed and made us happy again!
Gramps, a
few more stops down the Alzheimer Line, said our Guardian Angels went bowling up
in heaven, and concocted the miracle between strikes or pins or whatever.
Frames?
Thank you.
