Un-Something! Poem by Elizabeth Middleton

If I were to Undo something, what would I undo? The death of the dinosaurs?
If I could Unbind something, what would it be? A marriage?
If I Unblocked a play, which would it be? West Side Story?
If I Unbuttoned something, would it be Dad‘s work shirt?
If I Unwrapped something, could it be someone else’s present?
If I had Unfastened a seatbelt, whose would it be? The child’s to save the mother?
What if YOU did it too?
You could Untie Tommy’s shoes!
Maybe even Unstop Mommy and Daddy’s special bottle in the fridge!
You could Unfix the toy Uncle Bob gave little sister!
Possibly even Unlock the door to the adult‘s room!
You could Unravel a mystery that of Where Daddy goes at night!
Or, you even could Unbuild the tree house!
Some things however; are best left alone, and this world can go on unchanged.
