Giving Up

Be honest this isn't going anywhere you've tried I've tried we've given it everything we've got. If we had the answer at our fingertips I'm sure you would agree things would be so different. but no we just keep going round and round our frustration turns to bitterness. Stop now Let's call it a day I think that would be best if we both admitted that we'll never find the start on this roll of sticky tape.

Wow! I love the twist. At first I thought it was about a bad relationship, not a frustrating experience with a roll of tape. When I reached the poem's end, I had to smile.

Oh no, there's nothing worse than a twist in a roll of sticky tape :) Thanks for popping by, ELizabeth. Viv x

that should have read 'gloom'. Must proof read more before I press 'send'.

Yes, I tried to give the poem a touch of Ingmar Bergman direction, a bit of glppm. Sneaky, eh? Thanks, BW. Viv x

Never a problem for you, Jan, because you're a woman. And you have great nails. Viv x

I agree, wholeheartedly, Jan, but there are mean, evil, nasty, dirty, devious souls out there that DON'T. I think it should be a felony. Of course, I have been known to be a little harsh.....
