From the news

Grandma’s Lap

“One more lap,” Grandma said.
Fast, she ran round the yard.
Ran at school. Ran to win.
It should not be this hard.

“One more lap,” Grandma said.
It was all about a lie.
Round she went lots of times.
It felt like she would die.

“One more lap,” Grandma said.
She’ll never lie again.
Grandma’s anguish, too late.
Grandma pays for her sin.
