Tales of Heartbreak

The saddest words that I have heard spoken
were by a mushroom whose heart was broken. 
Yet, there was that onion I chopped and fried.
Oh, how I remember the tears I cried.

Oh yes yes, make me laugh. So irrelevant, off the wall and downright silly, were it a little later I might have come down with a complete case of the giggles! Poetry hugs ... CayCay (all is well)

Hi CayCay, it's great things are going OK - I'll keep trying to make you giggle. They problem is that I write what's funny to me and if you're laughing too...well, I'm not sure what that says.
