Falling To Pieces

A crumb fell away from her and landed on the floor. When she stooped to pick it up, it was followed by many more.

She's such a little piggish one. She's making such a mess. A broken heart when she is done. She just can't handle stress. The mirror of lies just testifies that she has lost it all. That's when she tries and then comply's to answer the last call. Don't read too much into this Michelle. I just love to rhyme. :) Peace. :) Merry Christmas!

A broken heart, Robert? More be like a two year old's temper tantrum. Cute when it's a child, but not so fun with grown ups; it turns to manipulation and control. I'll pass. :)

This would make a nice Mother Goose rhyme. Of course with Mother Goose there is usually some dark meaning. Is there a dark meaning here, Mikki? Love, Old Mysterious Daver

oh my , I found a really GOOD one that I had not yet seen. YAYYYY. I really like this a lot. It's kind of profound!! On the cat, I really hope my hubbie will not mind looking for a new one. I just can't see us ever being able to afford new carpet and in the meantime, I am dying for a little pet!!

An effective chronicle exhibiting life's humor of adding pain to good intentions - the wonders of Murphy's Law - J.A.B. %

I heard that when she stooped to pick it up a mouse got there instead and, seeing it, she screamed a mighty blast in screeching mortal dread. OOOOWWWW! I hate them meeses to pieces! Love, David Austinfellow. Actually, I have seen this before and loved it to pieces.
