So fantastic! I laughed out loud through the entire read. Ditto. and beyond being a creative piece, if we could and would each hold up the mirror and dare stare into our own eyes and tell the truth, oh how much more beautiful a world this would be! Love You!

Thank you so much Millicent! I'm glad you got a good giggle out of my word soup. The mirror thing sounds like a legit strategy to make this world a nicer place.

Just a uncalled for suggestion……write a book of poems…..for dummies like me (I’ve never appreciated them until now). You’ve got the talent to do it……wonderful reading, funny but also very well written…..intelligent but simple! Thanks again for what you do!!!

I'm definitely going to put a book of these together one day. I just recently discovered poetry (I never appreciated it either, it was too fancy pantsy for me), and have only written 15 so far. I have a bit to go to make a book yet hehe.

I am pretty sure that having a junk drawer classifies one as a real adult. Also, my nightstand is a nightmare. You are not alone Robin! This was brilliant, another tour de force of poetry.💕

Aww thanks Jan! Don't worry, I can't, it was permanently stitched to my face in primary school.

'godawfulwhythehelldidIeverbuythat' 😆😆 We need to add that to the Oxford dictionary. Also, I'll bet there's a German word for that.
