Bibliobella the Air Harmonica-ist

If Bibliobella hunches over
the stove while cooking pasta, Wonderpup
Rick knows instinctually what cures her.
He drops his red rubber ball, and brings her
an old invisible harmonica.

Bella unsleeves Rosalita vinyl.
When the needle touches the grooves she hears,
BRUUUUUUCE loud and long before her niece appears.

Sophia Superniece freezes into
John Travolta Saturday Night Fever
stance. Once the song starts she moonwalks. Aunt-B
blows the song as if born on E Street.
She holds her niece under her arms and swings
Sophia off the floor until she curls
into a ball on an air trampoline.
They turn tight sommersaults off the ceiling.

Ricky Wonderpup of the golden heart
basks in the sun on the front lawn. His ears
flap to the music as evidenced by
two grass patches, two feet apart, bouncing.
