Possession

I pick up cars and put them on the shelf,
cleaning is easy without one year olds.
It's just so much faster to do myself;
toddlers are unlikely to do as told.

I picked up this one toy with Elmo's face,
"Let's play!" Elmo said as I jostled him.
I smirked and put the toy back in its place;
I could not have thought it was be so grim.

I walked to the other side of the room;
I started putting other toys away.
I was sure that this toy would be my doom,
when once again I heard the words "Let's play!"

He kept talking while no one was around
Woe! I was haunted by this phantom sound!
