Butter Side Down

Lorna

Oh life is just a ton of laughs

Despite the dreams that sometimes crash

The highs and lows 

The in betweens

Just keep repeating

And our dreams

Are filled with many things gone wrong

And still we try to sing our song

Despite the hopes that fall to ground

Like toast that lands

Butter side down

    Love your comment, Lorna!
    I guess the toast will be safe and good enough to eat! I’m envisioning that cat with buttered toast strapped on its back!🤣
    I predict it willl land on its feet! Have a fun loving day!

    Oh a good laugh this am - it begs many questions like when I retrieve my underwear from the washing why is it always inside out'

    • Lorna

      Why oh why is that! And always a sock missing from a pair!

        I love your smile Fay!! I have to tell you it's almost more fun to go and look for pictures than writing the poems!

          Good fun write, the toasty cat scenario is one of life’s humourous images.

            If the cat is smart, he'll turn the toast so he lands on it, then slide across the floor Tom Cruise style in his underwear. ; )
