Tension

Too much tension on a wire
Will cause it to snap,
Too much tension in the brain
Makes for mean collapses,
Be sure to rig with a swag
And protect your synapses.

Aw, surely not, Caren. I can't imagine writing anything that you wouldn't get in a flash!

Aw, that can happen, Delice. Maybe you need to find a nice park somewhere in your neighborhood and do some people-watching. Anything to release the tension! Love your comments and thank you!
