Apricot Tarts

As I lie here on my death bed Feeling the last beats of my heart My only regret is, I didn't close The lid on the apricot tarts Sounds like a kind of trivial thing But to some, it's a big faux pas Little things are very important To me, that's a major flaw In the overall scheme of things in life So they're not as fresh as alleged I'll eat those things any way they come Don't mind if there's fur on the edge I think they call it **** retentive And applies to so many things Like how dishes are placed in the dishwasher And how you must rinse everything I really do feel sorry for these **** people They need to start enjoying their life Stop worrying 'bout all those silly things Now you have it, my sage advice © Jack Ellison 2014

Very entertaining poem, Jack!! I don't remember ever eating an apricot tart, but there are other types that I can fall for. If not mistaken you are one for pies, too...at least that's what rumour has it on Eileen's posts!:) See you my friend! // paul

My mother was a perfectionist with a georgeous house... Mine is the other way around... It's strange but my son is like that mother of mine... Anal retentive... I don't think so... just careful with what they've got. The mind works in mysterious ways... If you don't believe me just look at what I've got... A Dragon, some penguins, some Trolls and all... Not one seeking the same realiity... not one... in the whole lot!... LOL
