Treasured Possession

Bottle of Vodka, one knitting needle

We only sell knitting needles in pairs.

Of course, you do. All good things come in pairs.

Would you like a bag for life, save the planet.

A bag for life would be wonderful.


He lied, she thought.

But that was just typical of men.

She should show him the bag.

You said it was a bag for life.

But it’s not.

Look inside, you lied.


She sure didn’t feel good

Blood and blob

The Vodka did the job

Flush the lie

Now she could die


She didn’t die

Just cried

It didn’t help

Just the way she felt


Time moves on

Secret stays hidden

Tomorrow's another day

Just another day

But life is strange


He noticed she was heavily pregnant

Nice to see you’re still saving the planet

Yes, we all have to do our part

A bag for life

Treasured possession.
