Many buttons and many choices to make - some red, some blue, some green, depends on the mood and place. My GF knows my buttons well - LOL Mark

Oh why not, what can it hurt? Even if it is the wrong decision, perhaps something can be learned from it. :) Nicely expressed Jan.

Depends on the result it will have! Will it blow everything up? Bring peace on earth? Make you rich or get rid of your...government? A terrifying responsibility dear, Jan!

Phew I thought this write would never end. Excellent poem kind of long though. Honestly I think you should edit it. Still it is so good I am going to fav it.

ha ha ha - I am poised and ready lol - I wish they had a one liner section on soup as the poems that are being posted as monoku are not true to the form of " A haiku in a single horizontal line".:-(
