My parents both frowned,
Asked if I was OK,
Maybe I was tired,
From Valentine’s day…
“There’s no number thief,
That steals when we’re out,
You shouldn’t lie,
And you’re lying, no doubt…”
“He was here!” I yelled,
“He broke in with a shove,
But I conquered the thief,
With candy and love…”


Even though I told my parents 11 more times a minute for 3 minutes,
that I was telling the truth,
they still didn’t believe me.
How many more times had I told my parents I was telling the truth?
