Inside Out

An introvert in isolation

Talked to fairies in desperation

Not even quit faint

So neighbours complained

Called Police for incarceration


An extrovert shut up and inside

Climbed into tupperware as his guide

Held in detention

He gained contention

But then the lid was dissatisfied

But that is the point, is it not? To outgrow successive lids... Just love the way you brought the lid's perspective :-)

Thank you. The thing with the lids is that there are always not matching with the containers. Bit like the bachelor socks.
