the cat was under the bed
it was quiet
I was alone
when suddenly I heard a knock at the door.
I got up from my reclining chair
and put the book on the table
I walked to the door
and asked
"Who is it"?
There was silence for moment
and I waited
then I heard
a voice reply
"Open the door it's ''me"
I have been waiting for you, I replied
I wondered where you had gone to
I have been 'here' the voice replied
that sounds great,
I paused and asked, where is "here?"
The voice waited a moment
there was silence at the door
and then I heard a response
I have been 'over there'
You knew I was going
I told you
Don't you remember?
Oh yes, I replied
now that I think of it
you did mention something about
moving ''there".
I stopped for a moment
and gave it some thought!
Someone had come to my door
a stranger called 'me'
who is ,here', has been 'over there',
and also 'there', I have not the foggiest idea
who it is.
I said goodbye through
the locked door
I waited until I heard
him leave
I walked back to my chair,
picked up my book
and resumed reading it.
I had no idea who had knocked on my door
and I never found out
who it was
I think he knocked at the wrong door
Source: My own imagination. This did not actually happen to me. I had a writers block and could not think of a thing to write about that was new and fresh. So I wrote the first thing I thought of - it was silly and made me laugh. I hope you laugh as well
