There I was,
Happily eaten my breakfast,
I was eating my usual Granola.
Then it happened,
I don’t know how it happen
But as the spoon went to my mouth
A large piece of the cereal missed
And fell onto the floor.
Goodness knows how it missed MY mouth!
I looked down to pick it up
And that once piece had broken,
Broken into its component parts.
So instead of picking it up
I had to get the vacuum cleaner out
And hoover it all up.
I still have no idea,
How it missed MY mouth.

mine no longer fits.... and I dont have any of those ties anymore
Oh lol, good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
An old favourite of mine was Helen - what a voice - and so sorry you missed your mouth Andy - perhaps you were singing too loud with Miss Shapiro.
She was a wonderful singer and later went into jazz and was equally as good.
I may well have been singing too loud and that may be why the neighbours were knocking on the wall!
I have similiar problems when I put things in the waste bin. for some inextricable reason I always seem to let go too soon. Enjoyed the read.
HI UNCLE ANDY : ANGELA HERE ~ Thanks for sharing sounds & sights of the 60*s I was born over 40 years too late (1988) to have been a TEEN in the 60's it must have been amazing Hearing all those ELVIS & BEATLES RECORDS for the First Time ! Love the *gravel* in Helens voice was that the actual Beatles with her ? ! Loved your POEM : It is a problem I have to try & rectify with Stroke Patients whose hand / eye coordination has diminished ! I have to get them eating in mirror so they can see where their MOUTH is in relation to the SPOON ! You could try that !
BLESSINGS & peace & Love to you and JOYCE
Love as always ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Hi Angela, yes that was three of The Beatles - John Lennon, Ringo Star and George Harrison. Paul McCartney was at another engagement.
