I saved my little sister’s life.
She had a bad case
of deadly Arphidarfilus.
She sought a second opinion.
Mom was busy in the kitchen.
Dad was, as always, on the road.
I prescribed gumdrops.
(Gumdrops is the only cure.)
Half a century later
she says I’m still her hero.
Ron. Lavalette has been widely published in both print and pixel forms. His first chapbook is now available from Finishing Line Press, and a reasonable sample of his work can be found at EGGS OVER TOKYO.
Feel the need to say soething; not enough do. Gobstoppers come to mind; winegums too… come to think of it, I’m back in my childhood. So, you see, your story has an effect on your reader and that’s what it’s all about, don’t you agree?
I do indeed & I’m pleased it’s a positive effect, and honored you bothered to say so. Thanks!
I love it! Sweets are always the go to fix!

You were right, Ron. This put a huge smile on my face. Your sister is very lucky. And so are you.
