Ah Yes That Is Why

Ah yes that is why perhaps because he/she/it knew we would be quicksilver, never satisfied with what is, It created seasons. Just for starters tides came first of course ebbing then filling back into the places where it left no traces from before. Then came the need for snow, right after falling leaves, spring rains summer blossoms. It seems satisfaction was out of reach. A flimsy ephemeral thing never staying for long. just long enough to irritate the erratic. for it was they who invented “too”.

Gobsmacked!!! You genius you!! Now where did this hail from? So devilishly clever. The title itself is so enticing and becomes the key to this pure art. I cheekily feel so happy Im the first to comment here. You really DO need better exposure

Jannie my mind quirks that way. I notice the oddest things. Perhaps I write about them because if I told anyone in conversation they would have me locked up in a trice. But you see through to the message and thank you.
