WAYWARD CARDS
by Gwen Austin Turbyfield

Where have they gone, those birthday cards?
Naughty canards.
I put them where
in sight they'd stare.

They gave me such a maddening fright
as all day, night
I searched for them
and prayed Amen

What a strange quirk.  Made me berserk,  
where they did lurk,
right there in tail
of carved-wood whale.
