Stuck In a Snow Globe With You

I am stuck in a Snow Globe with you
And there is nothing on earth I can do
How did I get here; I haven’t a clue
More importantly, who the hell are you

I remember one evening after downing a few
In the corner you sat dressed in black, legs askew
But how did we get here, please tell me; who knew
Trapped inside a Snow Globe forever we two

There is somebody shaking this Globe; what to do
We are flung all around, snowflakes drifting anew
I’m feeling quite bilious and beginning to spew
and gazing at you I see you puking too

We comfort each other, what else can we do
As slowly we smile and we sit for a while
We talk of our lives, full of trouble and strife
The agro, the stress, maybe life here is best

Now known as the couple who live in the Globe
We are on view to all in our brand new abode
But safe and secure no more worries or trouble
Together forever in our Snowy Globe bubble

I would not have wanted to see the snowglobe spewing. They relax in the end to enjoy their bubble. Congrats, Ann, on your win in my contest! <3 Kim

This is darling! It can be taken in a really serious way - how two people together are "us against the rest of them", or as a really whimsical, magical fantasy poem. I prefer to take it as both.

Haha, thanks Caren I like your take and yes I can see what you mean. I myself love snow globes and my latest purchase is a beautiful golden tree surrounded with golden fairy dust - exquisite when gently shaken! Kindest thoughts Ann x
