Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

I Am Glad I Noticed It

My fingernails are black.
Not the tops, but the tips, under them.
I wish I was exaggerating.
It looks like I have been clawing tar.
I am glad I noticed it.
Using my other nails now to dig out the debris.
I am such a boy for an old lady.

L Milton Hankins November 11, 2021 at 8:30 AM Oh, lord, this is too much information! When I told my niece I was in SAD, she looked at my fingernails. I asked why. She said many depressed people don't pay attention to their hygiene. What?!? When under my fingernails get dirty, I just clip them and start all over! (chucking) Caren Krutsinger November 11, 2021 at 9:47 AM I like the clipping idea; I shall try that.
