Grits

Miscalculated the opened door Spilled those grits on the floor Well some went on the cabinet top Some went here and there and flop These grits were uncooked see Gritty and runny milky indeed They went under the coffee keeper All over the clean coffee steeper When they finished running around I thought that they was kin to one who bounds Like a stud, a casanova everywhere I didn't make a sound really I didn't make a sound I could have but I bit my tongue I held up the shield to my thoughts I held them captive until my husband Came in the room and I told him Do not drop any water on the floor

Sara, I think I'll try to follow your example. (Not the spilling part... LOL! The holding my tongue part. Smiles.) Very nice poem about self control. Lovingly enjoyed, Dane Ann

This is so clever, Sara! I love the last verse and can really see the grits making a mess in the kitchen. It's easy to spill things. In fact, I just rode over a rock and scratched up my brand new car. Guess we need to keep a sense of humor like you do when things like this happen. It's an inspiration to me at this time. Thank you! Love, carolyn
