Winding of Eras

Posted on November 30, 2021 by purplepeninportland

Written for: Miz Quickly – Day 29 

"At my grandparents’ home when I was young [Yes, Miz Bunny was once young] there was a wind-up dog that did flips, and a monkey that banged cymbals. Each one wonderful in its way.

Write about winding.

Crank up that Jack-In-A-Box,
watch that clown pop up
and terrify me.  

My favorite wind-up of
all time, was my Pink 
Panther, who looked
from side to side,
and clashed cymbals
while dancing.

Ah, but it's a long
and winding road,
I suppose.  The only
item we wind up now
is an old grandfather 
clock.

    Time does that. I never liked when the Pink Panther talked but dancing and cymbals are allowed
