"A mystery box
has appeared"
"Where?"
"On the counter
right there"
"Ah, I see"
"What could it be?"
"Did you order
something?"
"Wasn't me"
Then hours later
still puzzling
I suddenly knew
just what it was
"My dear
every year
what do we get sent
just because?"
"Pumpkin cookies"
we both squealed
and with a quick text to dad
the truth revealed
"But they'll go bad
in a couple of days"
"And we're not home
for a week"
"Well that sucks"
"What a waste"
But then
in unison
we cried out again
"Text the pet sitter
she'll have a plan"
And indeed she did
She'll put them
in the fridge
"I do have one question
though
she replied"
"How did you know
a surprise
package had arrived"
"Ah well
to tell
you the truth
we saw it on the camera
we use to spy on you"
