I don't know what it's called...!<br>It sometimes makes you rude.<br>They also play a prank on you.<br>I wish they'd stop it, please.<br>They sneak behind your back and hide<br>your eyeglasses or keys.<br>Even merchants are involved<br>as far as I can figure.<br>They've changed labels on clothes that fit<br>to a number, one size bigger.<br>And, what about that flight of stairs<br>you used to climb with ease.<br>They keep adding steps to it.<br>They're doing it to tease.<br>I'm sure that there are other plots,<br>I've only touched a few.<br>I know I'll find another one,<br>before this day is through.<br>A word to the conspirators:<br>You'll be replaced by someone new.<br>In years to come, they'll learn your tricks,<br>and conspire against you. </b></font></p></blockquote></blockquote><hr color=0000ca size=3><center><font size=2 face=arial><b><a href=http://www.isavo.net/poem/sk4.htm>This Poem's Index Page 1</a><br><a href=http://www.yensa.net/poem/sk4.htm>This Poem's Index 2</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com/poems.htm>Poetry Website</a><br><a href=http://www.saviodsilva.com>Saviodsilva</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com>Isavo Site</a></b></font></center><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=http://www.saviodsilva.org/r/fantasy.js></SCRIPT></body></html>
