Life Hangs By a Thread

Improper placement of a soup spoon
  topples a marriage gone wrong

Recalling your voice in a war zone
  keeps my heart beating strong

Some people make war zones out of which way to put the toilet paper on the roll, so this makes sense.

Hmmm...interesting, G.W. Was the war zone the fight over the soup spoon?

Ha, ha. What do you think about the spoon's connection to the War Zone. Thanks for the reflection, Milt. :) gw
