MISSing
.
Thirteen November, Eighty
Eight, one Reserve was gone,
Her brother and her
parents, were calling on the phone.
For one full day and
one full night, she was nowhere to be found,
So in response, the
P.I.C., was calling all around.
.
Her family members,
all believed, she was working afternoons,
North or South, they
did not know, they were going looney tunes.
The last time they had
heard from her, was on the telephone,
When she had called,
to say at four, she would be at home.
.
Car Ten was duly notified,
the facts and circumstance,
Where could the lass
have disappeared, maybe to a dance?
Or perhaps she had been
kidnapped, by terrorists and kind,
More likely she just
disappeared, to quietly unwind.
.
An R.P. name of Sangha,
Raj to all she knows,
Had left us all quite
mystified, do you know, where she goes?
Could she be in seclusion,
or hiding with a friend?
How would this case
conclude itself, would it have a happy end?
.
The answers to these
questions, may always be untold,
Unless our own Ms. Sangha,
decides her story can be sold.
Maybe she could write
a book, if she can just get free,
To let us know that
she is safe, which we would greet with glee.
.
There is a happy ending,
all involved seemed pleased,
So now it is appropriate,
Ms. Sangha be teased.
For when she phoned
the P.I.C., to tell us all about,
All that she was coaxed
to say, was she had just been OUT.
