Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Downer

I dropped 4 nickels on the floor.
But just then, the front doorbell rang.
It was the mailman at the door.
Coming back with the package - dang.
My 2 year old was sitting there,
Clutching a nickel in his hand.
The other 3 weren't anywhere.
I figured Zach swallowed them, and
We headed off for the E.R.
They took him in for an xray.
Later, I checked progress so far.
I must have asked in a tense way.

"There's no reason to be upset,"
The nurse said, " But, there's no change yet."
