1. If I had an
anxiety disorder
I'd be worried
if things were
peachy like
once I had a
car accident
and I called my
father.
"Dad," I said,
"good news,
I'm not going
to have a 2nd
car accident
today," and
"don't count
on it," he
replied, cautiously.
2. The fox found
the most delicious
grapes in the world,
only to discover
that he couldn't
reach them
and didn't want
them anyway
or so the story goes.
3. The potter sees
an opportunity when
the pot breaks and smiles.
Dragged by her hubby's car,
my sister made it through
the dinner that followed.
4. God was in a vessel,
as big as everything.
Then he smashed the
vessel to make room
for you and me ...
and now we must
put the pieces
together, which might
be why nothing
runs that smoothly,
esp. when we expect it
to be unbroken.
5. The power
in our house went out
the other day
and I laughed,
remembering how earlier
attempts to give
my daughter and her hubby
an evening out
ended in a mini-disaster.
