I might have to rearrange,

I said to my sister.

You know, just a little change.

She looked at me like

Oh mister!

I’ve seen that look before and she said,

you changed it last week

and moved that chair

and now the bookcase is over there.

I looked at her and smiled from ear to ear.

I know, but I just got a stuffed deer.

The big kind and if I put it in that corner

I’ll have to move the table.

I’ll need your help if you are able.

She wrinkled up her nose

and gave a half hearted sneer.

I guess I can help but be a dear;

I need to eat

and if you move the table

I’ll still need a seat.

So maybe tomorrow we can work on this plan.

Maybe tomorrow you and I can

rearrange everything

but the kitchen sink.

We’ll move it together.

Can I have a drink?
