Some no sense chatter to put back in the box

Imagine reverting to type How we all scowl at those that do Yet we are forever missing from ourselves In this glory of being 'better' Then, maybe the awful revelation that I am this bland entity Are we all giving ourselves 'the ick' or what?! I suspect it's kinda just me and a select few Someone at work has a new dog Told this story of how it can't stand itself when it sees itself reflected I mean the reality is it's that unrecognisable reflection that looks more like an enemy That shouts at you and tells you to get away, but you can't Ahh it's the kind of stuff we should sort out if we have that vibe Perhaps I'm very much the embodiment of a rescue dog I totally am I am a good little girl, tell me I'm clever and ask me to tell you about my day and pretend it's interesting and I'll lap it up Let's not go too far with this strangeness What was I talking about? Ahh - reverting to type I'm not sure I could tear up a cushion and still be loved... It would be nice if we all felt we could be

We have mountains of cushions in our house...they guard each chair and make it hard to find a place to sit...so you are welcome to come around and destroy a few my dear DD, would be grateful . Humor aside...an engaging poem from the other side of your mirror. Take care, Paul

I haven't torn up a cushion, but does ripping up a poem count? Perfection drives me too. Yet Taylor Swift says, "Let It Go".

You got me Googling then Hilda - she's not known for it particularly but she did dress as Olaf once and sing Let It Go :)

My favorite is the embodiment of a rescue dog I totally am, dog analogy. Food for thought!
