Haiku #230 - plus, the joke's on me!

Time 2 get up (2)
Mum's second text of the day -
saves calling upstairs


This only brought a smile because, glancing at it quickly, I misconstrued it:-

After rummaging a lost volume in her book-packed house, Hill vowed to spend a year reading only the titles on her shelves.

What it is to have a literal mind!

    Crafty! At least the text beep might elicit more interest than Mum's shouting! I needed Jinksy's help with the second one!

    Texting is usually better than yelling upstairs.

    I think that by the time I'd have text it would have been quicker and easier ti either shout up the stairs or actually walk up the stairs!
