Sense Sonnet - Pumper

Long Lost

I got a ring for my birthday,
From my Mom, and on the inside
Was engraved my name on display.
But, soon I lost it and Mom sighed,
And got me a blanket instead,
Saying that would be hard to lose,
As long as it stayed on my bed.
Yesterday, I got some strange news,
From a butcher shop in my town.
The ring with my name was found in
A plucked chicken's gullet, way down.
Mom was shocked I had it again.

I was 8 when I lost that ring.
I'll be 27 next spring.
