Storm Drain Disappearance

I know I should not whine or frivolously fret, but I believe I have lost my pet marmoset. I have also lost a blue barrette, a red tea set, and a beautifully carved purple aigrette. They all went down in the drain, putting me in a particularly uncomfortable cold sweat. I did not mind losing Jeanette, a snake who was never an exceptionally kind or loving pet, I am sad about losing my baby’s bassinet and a tiny edge of my bathroom’s finest moquette. They both fell down the storm drain, when I paused to look at my rapidly disappearing tea set Way down deep in the bowels of the sewer, and I am especially sad to lose my pet marmoset. Here comes another person. She has lost a briquette, diskette, and a sliver of yellow georgette. Written 2-28-2019 Contest: Down a Storm Drain Gone Forever Sponsor: Eve Roper
