The Trickster

Sandi Staton

He lives in my brain
Such a trickster is he
Causing chaos and confusion
And frustration for me
But he doesn’t care
Not one little bit
And continues his mischief
With no plans to quit
I awake from my slumber
With grand plans for the day
To declutter my house
And put everything away
I pick up a box filled with trinkets galore
And begin to plunder
In search for more
So consumed in my frenzy
The hours slipped away
And the house is more cluttered
Then it was yesterday
And the beat goes on
From one day to the next
Till one day for sure
I’m gonna break that trickster’s neck
~Sandi

I am a wife of 54 years with one son, two dogs, four grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. I love music and art, taking pictures of clouds and nature, and turning them into art. I play the piano and accordion, and enjoy laughing and making others laugh. My feelings run deep; I say what I think and write what I feel and only choose friends that are real. I believe in God, freedom, and justice for all. I don't like fake; make it real or don't make it at all. Sometimes I say too little, and sometimes I say too much. I grew up in church, learned a lot about the Bible and how Christians are supposed to live, but I don't always make a passing grade. That about wraps it up. To know more about who I am and what makes me tick, stick around and pay me a visit. There's always a fresh pot of coffee on the stove and a cake in the oven!
