Caught Red- Handed
Caught Red- Handed
Bang. Sploosh. Smash.
Shattered glass. child lying still.
His face, florid from embarrassment.
What was he doing in here;
With the ruby raspberries,
And the milk spilled all over?
If he needed to quench his thirst,
He could have asked for help.
Much too short to reach the cupboards
He knew that he would slip and fall.
Crashing to linoleum beneath him.
Big sister, blue in the face with frustration;
She's warned him many times before,
Not to get caught red-handed
It only brings more trouble.
