The Secret Box

 

Eve said:  'Don't look into my private box.'

What in the world would her eight year old hide?

Was it something precious or a dead fox?

 

Over the box, there were numerous locks.

It had to be something she won't confide.

Eve said:  'Don't look into my private box.'

 

The mum was quite curious, was it rocks?

She wants to know, to open it she tried.

Was it something precious or a dead fox?

 

Hopefully, it wasn't Eve's smelly socks.

Probably something to do with Eve's pride.

Eve said:  'Don't look into my private box.'

 

Perhaps she conceals the prettiest frocks.

A white wedding-dress if she'd play the bride.

Was it something precious or a dead fox?

 

'Don't touch it!' Eve said, 'Inside I've bought stocks!'

What mum doesn't know was that Eve now lied.

Eve said:  'Don't look into my private box.'

Was it something precious or a dead fox?
