Unexpected


by Shawn McDaniel II

 

I met a demon in a pink paisley suit.

He sat on a rock and played a flute, Doot Doot

 

I looked at him and said just my luck.

He looked at me and said duck.

 

Something flew over my head with a giggle.

Then landed in my arms with a wiggle.

 

It was a demon child with corks on her horns.

So she’d quit getting stuck in trees he retorns.

 

Why am I here I asked confused.

Because I need a babysitter, he said, amused

 

He disappeared as I stuttered but but but

I looked at the demon in my arms. Now what?
