Ding-dong—who’s there?
Footsteps vanish in thin air.
Little feet sprint, laughter flies,
A mystery left in disguise.
Ding-dong, a second round,
Peek outside—no one’s around!
Kids hide giggling down the street,
Outrunning echoes, swift and fleet.
Ding-dong!—the third time’s a charm,
But they’re gone again, no harm.
Just a game they love to play,
Leaving smiles, then dart away.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

How beautifully rhythmic you've crafted the words, I smiled with the mischievous children reading this!😆✨💕
Love this one. When we used to do that as kids, my friends and I, the people behind the doors were not nearly as understanding as you ha! Loved this!
