even kids are not automatically sane
*************************************
i confess
that when i was younger
i would tell kids who came over
to my house that
what they saw sleeping in a basket
over there behind the drapes
was not an elderly siamese cat--
but a rare hawaiian raccoon..
i just said it for a laugh
& figured nobody sane
would believe me
and nobody sane did
but apparently
one of the kids told their parents
who told other people
and some time way later
somebody mentioned
that I should really
seriously, take it back
to hawaii
where it belonged
like i sad i didn't think
anybody sane
would believe me
