Anyway, how can you
Be sure you
Closed the window before you left?
Don't just assume
Everything is
Fine. Remember the time
Gary came over to the
House and you two were so
Intoxicated that you
Just left the
Kitchen stove on,
Like it was nothing?
Might as well turn around
Now before we get even farther from
Our house. Besides it's not like I
Planned to be at
Quinn's for dinner or anything.
Really, how hard is it to do
Something when I ask you
To do it?
Unbelievable! It's open. Our
Valuables
Were left unprotected. Merry
X-mas to us if
You had let them steal everything.
Zane, are you even listening to me?

This was so conversationally realistic! Great abecedarian!
I never close my window. Skeletons in my closet constantly need some fresh air.
Damn good work!
How did you make this flow so well? Amazing storytelling!
This was so deep and powerful! Fantastic poem!
