“Guess what I want”
I said smiling with Glee
The new Harry Potter book
as I beg with plea
I'll stay up till midnight
to grasp the book in my hands
and I would pay one thousand dollars
To make everything work, the way I planned
I will even wake up early
as early as three!
to get that book
That would soon belong to me
I will camp beside the book store
In rain or shine
anything to get that book
to make it mine
My trance ended
as I twiddled my thumbs
But how can I do this, I thought
wait, I’ll ask mom!
“Can I ?
please oh pretty please”
she looked testy at me
“you’ll see, you’ll see...”
I crossed my arms
and stamped my feet
As I knew what that meant
translation: Maybe ; no
The power shut off
my eyes no longer glistened
I didn’t beg THAT much
nobody listened...
We were at the grocery store
On the day of the release
I COULD’VE had my ticket
as I thought in peace
“one more stop” said my mom
with my head pressed against the window
gawking towards the bookstore
thinking about the fiasco
I COULD HAVE been apart of it
I COULD HAVE seen the joy
But all I saw, were images in my head,
people reading about the young Wizard boy
“What’s this, what’s this?”
as I perked up
My mom made a sharp turn
and started to back up
“What are you doing?
Are you going mad?!”
“Fine” my mum said
“WAIT!!!” I quickly noticed the add
“HALF BLOOD PRINCE
GET THEM HERE,
WHY TURN AWAY
WHEN YOU’RE SO NEAR”
“Stop the car!” I screamed
fiddling with my belt
“here’s your ticket” my mom offered
“Oh thank you!” I gasped, while my heart began to melt
I ran like a mad man
so desperate for that book
I stood in line,
wondering how long this took
reaching the counter
I slammed the money down
“Give me The book!!” I demanded
the clerk went from a simple smile, down to a frown
she pulled out the register
and I took the book
“here’s you’re change-”
She had a confused look
I had disappeared
no where to be scene
I was out of the store
As I begun to scream
“IT’S MINE, IT’S MINE”
I raised the book high
I won’t go to bed
“Until I am finished” I cried!
Guess what I got
smiling with glee
The 6th Harry Potter Book
And it belongs to me
