Bendability

Some days are like a bowl of cherries Some day are like the pits Today started out like a winner for sure Then quickly turned ugly bit by bit Frustration is surely part of the scene As we age, we are much less tolerant Set in our ways, we are unable to bend Probably need a brain transplant Tomorrow is always another day With its own set of highs and lows It's own set of frustrations and triumphs Not everything is in our control Bendability is an excellent word That encompasses what I'm saying To allow for things out of our control And still enjoy life's game we're playing Bottom line is accept each day as it comes Each one is another day blessed As we travel along life's bumpy road To the end of the trail in life's quest © Jack Ellison 2014

Yes we need to be very bendable in life, that way we can enjoy it to the fullest! That was we can share our life with others! I surely enjoyed reading this dynamic poem this evening! You have impressed me yet again with this glorious piece! Great Work!!

Our day started really fine as it bended to our will. But now we're using an auger on the unbending pipes herein. Yes, Hubby with an auger is ready for the win! Grandpa Troll is taking bets if the pipes or Hubby will win... One old auger has already hit the dust, and it's hard to hold Dragon back. He blew into the pipes. He tried a really good try but his own fire shot back. Now he's blowing bubbles as the pepto Bismol soothes it out... But Hubby's mumbling up a storm as he continues THE fight.
