Advice to a Brand New Stepmom
Release your indignation. Try to quell your grief.
The air is redolent with clues of the impish thief.
Don’t you smell the bubble gum? Can’t you catch a sniff
of the perfumed hair gel that makes his hair so stiff?
Those two dozen cookies that you’d put in a stack
to package for the bake sale, I’d bet are in a sack
high up in the tree house in your own back yard.
The next time you bake cookies, you’d better post a guard!
The prompt words today are thief, release, redolent and impish. Here are the links:

Familiar picture; I worked with “Brady Bunch” families and heard all this and more. Delightful poem, Judy!
