Saturday

BOOM!

BOOM! Goes the TV.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The exploding of devices
Shakes the entire room.

KA-BLAM! Goes the computer.
KA-BLAM! KA-BLAM! KA-BLAM!
But Julia ignores it
As she sits and eats her ham.


"This ham tastes weird,"
Julia blurts out
"I think it's seared—
Without a doubt."

The lamp explodes
I give her glares
But nonchalantly,
She just stares

A horrible habit
Julia keeps
We've tried to grab it
The habit leaps

The habit
Julia has is bad
She can't control it
It drives us mad

For what she does
Makes things explode
"I've had enough!"
Dad suddenly bellowed

We looked at him
In tired surprise
We all looked grim
But he despised

The fact that Julia
Couldn't stop
Down from his face
A single teardrop

"Why are you crying?"
I asked him then
"I'm sick of things
Getting destroyed, again!"

That's when Julia
Suddenly sat up
We had somehow fixed her
With that workup.

She no longer
Made things explode,
but it was equally as bad—
She made things implode.
