Puzzles

I’m not your puzzle.
I’m not a picture of a cloud.
I could be a rain check.
For a later date.
But you better leave my peace behind.
And just leave me with “see you later.”
You’ll regret pulling me apart into chunks.

I’m not your puzzle.
I’m too jagged and I’m no peaceful garden picture.
Or a flat surface.
Though it may seem…
You’re foolish anyway.

Have you ever thought that…
I’m as solved as a blueberry pie.
Or a bale of hay.
Makes you sniff and sneeze.
Have you ever thought that…

I’m not your puzzle.
Maybe next time….
Spend a little money.
Because puzzles ain’t free.
