The following is an entry for therealljidol, prompt: Trolley Problem
===

I don't have a trolley problem,
I'm having a plane problem,
and because of that,
I'm having a brain problem.

Can't think of anything
except my little gecko
who's supposed to have been here already
But things got screwed from the get-go.

Who knew a little gecko could
miss her flight?
Who knew a little gecko
would keep me up all night?

I'm worrying like crazy,
and feeling so bad
for buying a gecko in another state,
because I thought she was so rad.

And FedEx shipping was late,
and now she'll be here by tomorrow
and it's Shroedinger's gecko
not knowing what kind of horror

Might be awaiting me
if she did not survive.
I'll be just devastated
if she's not alive.

I'm crossing my fingers
for this little gecko girl
whose plane problem definitely
Put our world in a whirl

C'mon little gecko
please get here quickly
so I can breathe a sigh of relief
and stop feeling so sickly

Your cage is all ready
Your little huts are all waiting
And now it's just you, little gecko girl,
who we're eagerly anticipating....
