Mushroom Tipping Point

So nervously, upon this earth I tread.
Don't let me, again, go out of my head.
My fragile mind persisted yet unbroken,
ignoring all harsh words as they were spoken,
until shattered with a sickening shriek.
Done in, I was, as I heard a mushroom speak.

OK, the other day it was Newton, now I've read to in a row about mushrooms, one w/ a broken heart and another that speaks. Are you aware of what I'm putting down here? And, again, irrelevant, off the wall, humor is exactly perfect for my current humor needs. I thank you. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

glad you got a kick out of them. I think I've exhausted and fully explored the mushroom, now, got it out of my system.
