Hello…..
is it me you are looking for?
Lionel
is that you?
High
low
searching
wondering
can I?
will I?…..
find you
looking in the cupboard
one
two
shit
down to the last roll.
I stalk the streets
heeding whispers
listening to rumors
on the hunt
on the look out
for that elusive creature
the one that keeps me clean
oh my
Toilet Paper
when did you become god
when did I need to reserve
just a roll
to ensure
I had what I need
when in need.
(Grandma…..
lesson learned
going forward
toilet paper shall be bought
on sale
never ending
so again
never shall I face this plight)
Oh my
it makes me giggle
it makes me laugh
look at me with disdain
I do not care
last I checked
this ain’t no ass illness…..
respiratory.
Lungs.
Lungs people.
‘Dem t’ings y’all breath through.
(sad
sad
rhyme
sad
sad
accent
I hear it better than I speak it
smile)
Never
not in a million years
trite as that statement may be
did I ever think
that toilet paper
would become more sought after than gold
that limits would have to be imposed
but:
can you spare a square?
Just one square?
Homage to Lionel….
Homage to Seinfeld…..
Please do not sue me
Please…..
Cease and Desist……
much better…..
cause 0% of 0%…..
well……
it equals 0%…..
unless you do the new math
than it could mean anything.

Lionel Richie and no

Is he a singer or a famous person as his name is familiar and I swear I saw a comment from John on this post. Something about ‘This girl does not get a joke’ or a compliment, or something. But, I probably mis-saw who the commenter is.

No it was John and it had to do with not getting the joke. Lionel Ritchie was an artist in the ’80’s. He has a lot of songs. This one just fits so perfectly…….

He has not replied to mine either. He seems to be sharing a lot of religious posts writing a lot I should say.

It has nothing to do with us. It is his choice.

I know, but I did unintentionally hurt him before he left. I’ve tried to apologise, but he doesn’t really seem to respond to that.

Rue he is a big boy. People can hurt you unintentionally all the time. That is how it goes. An off comment taken the wrong way. You did nothing wrong in the least. And you have apologized as well. The ball as they say is in his court. But do not lose sleep over it Rue there are more important things in the world to be concerned with

Oh, I know that, and I usually don’t worry about it, but sometimes it does pop up and then I can’t help worrying about it.

Can you do anything to change the situation? No. Have you done all you can? Yes. Worrying about something you cannot change is futile. It will give you grey hairs and wrinkles before your time. Listen to your much older sister…..worries only beget more worries. There are things to worry about….your brothers. Your parents. Yourself. Those are situations you have choices in. Worrying about anything else will drive you crazy. Remember you are only responsible for the words you have written you are not responsible for the reader’s interpretation of those words.

🙂 Thanks (though in this case, I actually was the one in the wrong). I’ll definitely be taking those words to heart.
