I Am In a Bad and Horrible Mood

I am in a bad and horrible mood My scowl is deep and dark I am sitting in my pajamas plotting someone's death a variety of ways I see myself running them down with a wheelbarrow, and sticking a pitchfork in their arm. Maybe twisting it too I am glorying in the craziness of this madness which is something my placated self would never think I certainly would not do it but for some strange reason it gives me enormous satisfaction and I laugh Betrayal is something I do not abide and lies are the quickest way to get off my party list. I am scowling and swearing, deep in the throes of it When my friend Marge comes over to see what she can do She can do nothing; I refuse to let her in But she has a key which I had forgotten She comes in, gives me my favorite dessert, gets out my best lemonade glasses, and pours me a drink I love. I am trying my best to hate her for it; trying unsuccessfully to glower. Not quite ready to be nice

Thank you James. It was a writing "prompt" that I could not resist.

Oh, how I relate - well done, Caren - you captured a mood and scenario I know, one where it is hard to change the channel 'cause your not quite ready to stop your flow ... Really enjoyed! All the best ... CayCay (friends are like that, yeah, they are)

I know when I am in one of these, I like keeping it a bit.

Well, dear lady, we all have days (short, thankfully) as you describe with such ease. I feel bad when people carry them out on others, for hatred is an extremely bad emotion, its like a fuel much of the world runs on these days. Happy to her it was only a prompt on your part. / M

I read once that hatred is like burning down your own house to kill a rat.

And isn't it great that she pulled you out of that?

Hahahahahahahaha I see kids often who want to smile at something stupid I throw out just to "see their reaction". Hilarious when one corner of their mouth flies up and then they SCOWL at me, but we both end up laughing.

I think we all have, and I am sure I am headed that way again as I have been up way too early today and have to work.
