Interlude

Nobody's home I'm not here unavailable for visitors' cheer Not right now I'm not in the mood Give me some space All emotion subdued Come back later or maybe tomorrow I've nothing to lend for no one to borrow

We all need a break and you have conveyed it in a way which most of us can relate. Nice one!

Excellent write! For sure...oh just to drop out! It is a thought. Pascal said: "The more I am around man, the more I prefer the company of my dog".
