The Person Who's Two
By Melody Beerbower, 3-18-14
Shreds of notebook paper
Lying on the floor.
No one knows exactly
What they're lying there for.
We walked in one day,
And there they were
Shredded in a massive white pile
Like papery fur.
Mom blames the dog
For he likes to chew,
But I think the blames lies
With the person who's two.
Some one ate all the chocolate
In my parent's secret stash--
The one in their bedroom
Behind the big jar of cash.
They think in was me,
But I gave them a clue:
Just look at the face
Of the person who's two.
One day on the ground
We discovered mom's phone
(that indestructible kind)
Smashed by a stone.
Mom was furious
For it was brand new,
But it couldn't resist
The person who's two.
Dad bought a lawnmower.
It was supposed to last for ten years,
But somehow someone
Messed up the gears.
My dad is quite angry.
He's ready to sue,
But all the fault lies
With the person who's two.
My room once was clean.
Now it's a mess.
All of my stuff
Is thrown out of my desk.
Mom says I'm sloppy.
If only she knew
It's simply because of
That person who's two.
Milk on the floor.
And crayon on the wall.
Mysterious mud puddles
On the floor in the hall.
No one seems to know the culprit,
But I think I do.
It's that mischievous imp.
The persons who's two.
