A Thump on the Head
A Thump on the Head We all have those confounding moments. Times when you lock yourself out or lose a coffee mug in the house. Maybe you are like me and can’t type. I took typing in high school and bombed that, just like I blew a typing test for a job. I think my [...]
The Apple Tree
An apple tree that Drops poisoned apples, Dead before they hit The ground at your feet. “That could have been you”, A whisper wonders, “If you believed it, And ate it’s soiled seed.” The bark cracks up, Laughing at your doubt, As you failed to trust Your source of supplies.
