The Good Stuff
Poems
Making
Allowance
by Carl Palmer
Length: 31 lines
|
Power,
Self Esteem and
Confidence with the flick
of mental switch
All
of us are conditioned
to keep a series of
emotional triggers -
which
is why people and events can trigger
our emotional buttons.
The Second Trigger is y our own personal release from all of these
buttons.
Take back control of your life now!

Making
Allowance
|
pleased with the brand new door lock knobs
chrome, smooth and tapered, anti-theft
no ridge to grasp with a coat hanger
I swung shut the door to my truck
with the keys dangling from the ignition
knowing the doors were locked
I checked both sides anyway
looked through the windows
and pulled the handles once more
the driver side window slightly down
enough to snake in a straightened coat hanger
the knobs worked as advertised
tapping the glass with the bumper jack handle
about ready to break the window
and file an insurance vandalism claim
my 10 year old daughter stepped into the garage
“Kathy, stand back. I’m fixin’ to bust the window.”
I told her of my dilemma and listened
as my little girl spoke, “I have an idea, Dad.”
I watched as she unspooled an arm length of string
fed it through the opening to touch the knob
squeezed super glue to seep down the string
I watched in awe as we waited
the prescribed one minute (and one to grow on)
and then she slowly pulled the string
to pop the knob right up
and me right out of my predicament
“Wow, that was terrific! Thanks, Kathy”
“That’s all right, Dad.”
“Could I have a dollar advance on my allowance?”
I gave her the dollar (and one to grow on)
