Saving air

orchidee

Why, yes, join me in saving air

Don't breathe for 24 hours, that is

And save the air of a whole day

I did it once - 

But didn't feel well afterwards - Eh?!

 

I reckon it was that day

I wanted to find out what Carpe Diem meant

And by the time I found out, it was night

And no day left to seize. Doh!

 

And - you got out of that building yet?

You must follow the notice - 

This door must be kept closed at all times

 

You're tricking us, says Fido

Telling porkies

How come you didn't breathe for 24 hours?

Well, I must have been dead for a day

No change there then for me? Heehee.

    Orchi you killed two birds with one stone. This time you made me laugh and for that alone a fave is deserved. The second you gave me a great idea for population control if everyone would hold their breath for twenty four hours the population would drop to where it needs to be, just a few million cheaters. A fave my friend

                  My friend, missing the entire day while trying to discover how to seize it absolutely got me. 😂 Somewhere the WCAT is probably issuing instructions while a certain glugger insists the door remain closed at all times. Brilliant stuff, Orchi. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                    Thank you T. Yes, the glugging sound is driving us nutty! lol.
