Two-liners - Not for Contest

It’s hard to get ahead in life ~ when your feet are on backward They say laughter is the best medicine ~ but ‘they’ never had broken ribs Peter Piper picked a peck of pickle peppers ~ What an idiot! Weep no more, my lady ~ Ladies are so 19th century ~ Inspired by Rick Parise's contest ~

Peter Piper…cracked me up…or was that just the ribs. So in truth, my legs been having trouble, then I try to carry something too heavy (my boss used to say…don’t be a hero. Oh yeah, burned my hand with boiling water. That night…last night, I told my husband I wanted to roll up into a ball in the corner…today, I soldier on…lol

Glad to hear you had a laugh or two from these, Kim... Now it's time 'to be mindful' in everything you do and every step you take. ~ He who has been 'practicing mindfulness' for eight years already
