Lent failed!

orchidee

Arghh! Me Lent resolution failed

After just one day - well, five minutes really!

It was 'Be nice to KP in Lent'

 

Woof! says Fido

'You knew it wouldn't last', he says to me

'Dunno why you bothered to make that promise

You knew you would break it

Cos KP's still in my kennel, for one thing

While I'm in the lap of luxury

And when will you stop feeding her my old bones?

That's all she gets to eat these days'

 

'I know you greet her each morning, saying

'You're looking more trout-like each day, my dear'

'That's how you failed Lent after five minutes!'

 

What if the boot was on the other foot? as the saying goes

Well, it can't be

Cos KP has put this ball and chain on my ankle

And thrown away the key

So I can't put any boots on anyway!

LOL

      Lent promises like new year resolutions last about as long as you can still hear the words. Nicely written Orchi

                I thought maybe I'd participate in lent (I've never done it before) and I didn't realize it was 40 days. I think both of us can start over again!

                  Thanks N. Yes - it can be giving up something, or taking on something, or even both. There's no rules or laws about it though.
