Disarray

Disarray? Me? My house? My family?
Thank you! Yes, we certainly have earned the title, the crown and the sash.
You apparently were let in by one of the carpet chewers? 
The watch dog is pretty much a come-in-and-open-the-frig-dog 
Furious barking ceases the second a stranger, robber, or lunatic enters the premises.

Disarray? My writing? My painting? My leatherwork?
Thank you! Did you look under the couch too while you were incessantly snooping?
You would have found varmints, toys, a hot glue gun, pot holder, and last year’s Christmas brownie.
Oh, you did not get that far?
Disarray? You have not seen anything.
Let me show you the attic, the basement, the shed, the garage, and my mind.
That is where the real disarray happens.

Insanity runs in my family,
I am proud to admit. Not everyone
can claim this but it would be futile for 
us to deny it. The man with the axe?
Grandpa Zeke. He wants the refrigerator
opened too. He and the watch dog are watching
your every move now.
Choose wisely.

Andrea Dietrich November 23, 2019 at 5:50 PM Love love love this. Her blog made me scared. I was thinking she expected all these fancy metaphors; otherwise, I'd have written one like you did, though not as good. I certainly understand YOUR life!! Caren Krutsinger November 23, 2019 at 10:54 PM Thank you so much my friend. I am glad you understood it.

Wendy Watson November 22, 2019 at 11:05 AM I found this highly amusing, Caren and really hope to see it on Nina's list. Caren Krutsinger November 22, 2019 at 1:57 PM If it makes it, it makes it. If not, no worries. I enter almost all of the contests because they all make me THINK. I am big on using someone else's ideas. I am glad you were amused Wendy.
