"Bobby! Bobbeeee!"
The raven squawked, "Ark!"
"Bobby, it's late, and it's too dark for swimming!"
The raven squawked, "Dark!"
"Bobby, come on now. I want to go out. I'm already dressed and I'm getting wet out here in the park."
The raven squawked, "Park!"
"Bobby, don't make me come and get you. I'm not jumping into the lake in a long dress and long gloves."
"Awww, Mom! Be serious."
"Bobby, I am serious. Come here right now. I'm soaked to the skin and I'll have to go home to change, and I want you to come home, too."
"I'm having fun, Mom! I'll come home soon."
"Don't be silly, I have to lock the house before I go out. Hurry up!"
The raven squawked, "Lock!"
"Awww, please, Mom, please?"
The raven squawked, "Awwwk!"
"You come right home this minute, Bobby, or you are in big trouble!"
"Aw, Mom, you're always nagging at me. I'm not coming home. Ever!"
Squawked the raven, "Nevermore!"

I have a thing about ravens/crows. They tell me things. I very much like what they told Mom in this piece! Very fun.
That could have been me out in the rain last night at the cabin. It was "girls night out" for me alone. I saw Mr. and Mr. Raven go by earlier, but when the rains came they were smarter than I was and departed for a dryer haven. - Margy
Mother's pleadings not appreciated can be indication of problems in future!

P/S You are fan of Ali? Me too.He was in the doldrums for 3 years at his prime. It was injustice prompted by non-sporting considerations.Pity!
The Edgar Allan Poe-ish ending made me smile! What an effective and surprise end.
Whahoo! and a perfect closing line!
Great conversation, I love the ending. Poe would approve I think or at least have a chuckle.
LOL, this is so clever. : )
This is so darn cute. :-)
'Twould have brought a smile to Mr Poe's face, if that were possible.
I can see this easily ! your mood and mine were both determined-(I just didn't feel any romance in rain after our weather lately!) Thanks
Wonderful, Kay! I love your imagination.

Haaahahaa! good one Kay.
It's as if the raven is her pet.
Looking at the picture I thought I woul read a dramatic story about a suicide and then I had really to lol when I read your version !!
Charming!
Thank you for your input. Have a terrific week!!
At first it seems like a harmless domestic tale with some clever word-play thrown in. So the menace in the final words is all the more telling.
Love it, Kay! The threats we make to our recalcitrant children are not often carried out but Bobby's response was spot on!
Good build up towards the laugh at the end! LOL.
ha, enchanting and well played to the poe...
Dear Kay: Bobby if ever there was a shapeshifter of a misplaced raven!"nevermore" comes from the rant of a raven named Bobby...:)Fun!
i'm laughing so hard :)
you are a very funny person.
Smiles... great Price-less ending!
Oh, right! Nevermore. Love it!
that raven knows a thing or two
I really enjoyed his 'voice'
A mother's lament, but cute!

...just wait until he gets hungry! Sounds like me trying to get the dogs and kids in to bed on a nice evening! :)
Clever Magpie.
