Much To My Chagrin

I remember picking wild strawberries with my sisters so my mom could make jam. I looked for a glass jar to put them in, thinking the bigger, the more it carries. But I didn't much give a tinker's damn, how thin. As I ran ahead, I fell on my butt shattering my jar, much to my chagrin. Baring my ass, I proved this was no scam, bleeding badly, I showed how it had cut my skin. (Curtal Sonnet) 10-26-2020

Well said, Emile, your picture in words show a prideful and painful picture.
