I heard a giggle
From the other room
Like a bubbling brook?
Or rather like
The giggle
Of a self-righteous
Imp.
Wreaking havoc
With her little voice
And her childish demeanour.
I heard a giggle
From the other room
When we were sad
In a floor-puddle
And she came with a smirk
And a gleam in her creepy eyes.
I heard a giggle
And I tried
Not to let my fist
Connect with her impish teeth
To stop the sound
Of her self-righteous
Giggle.
