This is a cute, taut piece, Ali!
I assume the parts that are NOT true include her rubbing her eyes and their getting larger? LOL
Of course I offer not critique here, since forum is for you to display your finished work (which of course you may go into at any time and edit, since, as they say, no poet's work is ever 'finished'.
deLightingly, Daniel
Daniel,
as said, the story is nearly factual. It's been rumored that the Indian mummy had been stolen from the museum and dumped into one of our many canals--eventually to be mocked by one so-called poet whose previous alias has been changed at the request of his embarrassed wife who is not a mummy, but the mommy of one grown-up boy and grand-mammy of two grandchildren, and one in the making, due in July. True, (A poet's work is never finished," and therefore I ought to get back to my regular day's job, which is . . .doing nufffin. Cheers, Ali.
