The wooden box

#TSL pandorathon 22

As I prised open the wooden post, I gasped

————-


He had left me a wooden box

With the instruction

Keep it safe, do not open 

I nodded, put the box away.


My curiosity was triggered

Boredom made is purulent 

Why did it need to be kept safe?

What was in the box?


Lonesome I wondered

How long did I need to keep it ?

Why couldn’t I open it?

Was the content dangerous?


Questions with no answers

Were torture to my mind

I took the box from its hiding place

Under my bed if you want to know.


I turned it upside-down,

Shook it, it rattled somewhat

So there was something inside

I couldn’t stop myself


It was the month of Pandorathon 

After all and like Pandora

As I prised open the wooden box,

I gasped!
