This is not fake news

Gremlins are all about us

Nearly seen them

Teeny Tiny foot prints

In the pile carpet

And their chatter

Incessant

Cacophonous.

Put your ear to the floor

Hold your breath

“Yammer, yammer, yammer.”

Could I but speak Gremlin

I would know their plans.

Things are missing

My keys from

Their allotted spot

One sock

Of each pair.

Finger nail clippers

Never where I put them.

Gremlins, give me peace!

People you are warned.
