The Gift

This time it’s a rather large box
  with very shiny black paper
   Black?

A fat lipstick red ribbon
   tied the usual way
   with a perfect bow

It begs to be unwrapped
    she doesn’t see a card
    who sent it?

She opens the box
     alot of stuff with wings
     flies past her

She finds the card
  “You’ll never learn
   will you, Pandora!”

She quickly closes the box
     hoping nothing else escaped

Again.

    Hahahaha! Pandora is a bad girl! Or at least a very curious one. Thanks much for the read and comment, Lib!
