Thanks for the Memories

Thanks for the Memories


His costume broke:
unseamly extrusion
right out in front;
his mauve and ropy belly
shocked playtime party-goers.

Jump-pack battery depleted,
he hoofed it to the
van/lander and headed up,
leaving parts unknown
littering the ball pit
and game room.

All eyes lasered in on Rodney
rideless, parentless, on a hot seat.

“Not my real dad,”
he said weakly.
“Sorry about the mess.”
