"Under Contract"
Ron Kinard © 2003

today, while visiting
my p. o. box
I looked in and
off came my socks

to my surprise
a letter was there
tingly all over
a chill in the air

I got all nervous
I started to shake
it felt like I was experiencing
a severe earthquake

I straightened up fast
I left in a hurry
cranked up my van and
was off in a flurry

the letter it sat on
the passenger seat
what is inside
is it a treat

I slid in the driveway
slinging some gravel
my nerves, by then
started to unravel

patiently, I got out
locked up the van
opening this letter
scrunched in my hand

slowly I tore it
then ripped it good
destroying the envelope
any way I could

unfolding the letter
I got such a start
the letter, from an agent
about "From The Heart"

inside it told me
to please contact
as of now you are
under my contract
















I hope, one day, all of you that write get to experience this feeling!
