Writing Challenge I words, Sponsored by Constance la France

07/05/23

I once was quite indecisive but now I am not so sure, I’ve got to make my mind up but it’s a downright chore! So when two choices are offered and I’ve got to choose some cake, I’ll cut a slice off each of them I can’t afford to make a mistake! If I post this in Constance’s contest it’s early days, it’s not a race, but if I hesitate for a moment I may be tardy and not get a place! Perhaps I should pen another poem but then again I’d have to choose, If I were to chose the other one she may not like it and I’d lose! Once I was quite indecisive but now I’m not very sure, so I really must make a decision but it’s turned into an arduous chore!

This reminds me of an old saying I once heard, somewhere: The faster I run the behinder I get. I'm pretty sure I really like this one, Jan...but, then....

You know what, Jan. I rather like this… I think. I’m sure (fairly) it will do well in Constance’s contest. All the best (well, a little bit, at least). Terry… Or so I’m lead to believe ;-)
