Finally Somebody

"Somebody needs to clean that catbox," I said, but Somebody has gone away to college and I doubt that he'll drive 1000 miles every weekend just to tend to the cat's needs.

"And what about the okra?" I said. "Somebody needs to pick it." But Somebody has gone back to Kentucky where she's busy picking out songs for her junior recital.

"And while we're at it," I added, "Somebody needs to fill the birdfeeders," but Somebody has gone away to earn his own wings.

"Will Somebody please pick the blossoms off this basil?" I asked, but Somebody is at college learning how to make her own talents blossom.

I've always wanted to be Somebody. Looks like I've found my chance!
