Worthless Blob

I feel like a worthless blob
Since I have lost my job-
Lying in bed, depressed
not bothering to get dressed.

Upon the warming of days
Has come to me a new way-
I must follow this course
All I have to do is ride my horse!

I love the jocose tone. Beautiful write Amy. I feel like a worthless blob in summer. I sleep all day, watch sitcoms, and find myself unable to do any reading! Farah

I could detect humour in the poem. One should know how to shred the unhappy situation

This was supposed to be funny...guess I am not too much of a comedian.

I bet that is therapeutic--I use to love to ride a 3 or 4 wheeler fast as can be.

Actually, the blob thing was just over the winter. Now the blob is gone and the Valkyrie has entered the scene!
