philosophise me
unhelix my mind
and then chastise me
rhyme my poses
retime my proses
snap my beak
rethorn the roses
alphabetize me
file my shadows
then ostracise me
crime my creases
frieze my freezes
face me in to
comb with tweezers
must be those klutzy shoes…
say no to clowns 
so clever!

Good thinking Vanessa. That’s the difference between men and women, you can handle two thoughts at once. I will attempt your suggestion 🙂

haha.
wow, thank you so much.
Normally it is because of a few things happening at once…in this case, I noticed that one of our ducks we keep in a row (hehe) had broken its beak off. On a day when I was feeling kind of like that duck. This is about anxiety and self doubt and it really is only in recent years I have figured out just how much all of that has controlled my thought processes.
There are times you have to look out to break that inward anxiety loop. (hence the tags).

Really? Do you mean as a self protection thing?
And thank you!
And I love those guys too…was sad to see that the one had snapped the end off its beak, but it gives it more character I think! hehe

Hmm… the roses you buy at the florist’s to offer have no thorns. I think they are the ones I’d like to rethorn. Maybe to use them as trojan roses.
The duck with the broken beak is probably the wisest among them.
