What could it be? Could it be a tree? What's behind the hedge? Maybe a ledge. You could fall off. That may make you scoff. But what's really back there? Don't you have to know at your lair?
What is it?
What will happen?
Holy shit!
You start flappin.
Or another.
Or a new word.
Maybe your mother,
All is absurd.
You didn't see.
You didn't guess.
How can that be.
Look at that dress.
It's so shiny.
It's so new.
Wow, it went tiny.
Can that be true?
You wait and watch.
Or watch and wait.
Grab that scotch.
Await the fate.
You finally see.
You finally gasp.
It came to be.
You loosen your grasp.
But you're still sitting.
Maybe even lying.
Maybe the gym you're hitting,
And a TV you're spying.
Poses galore.
Poses and more.
Poses of lore?
Whoops, no encore.
In the middle.
Leaned on back.
Lying with a fiddle,
Gutter gets no flack.
But what aren't you?
Not on the edge.
No matter the view,
That's behind the hedge.
Is the cat wrong? Do you sit on the edge of your seat like a ding dong? You actually sit up from the couch or recliner and watch the TV like a hobo eyes food at a diner? Do you really go to the edge? Is that an honest pledge? That would make humans move in mass. They seem far too lazy for that to my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.

DeleteTaking it slow!
Hank
Back to the streak
DeleteHere at my creek
No ninja attacks on Halloween? I'm disappointed
DeleteGuess his suit got cleaned
DeleteSo #1 was never screened
Interesting observations here Pat, must see how I sit whilst watching TV.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Sure can lie
DeleteOr lay on a try
Behind The Hedge Brings The Edge!
ReplyDeleteAnd not too far off from the ledge
Was able to see
Through the tree
Being thankful for the privilege
Hank
See on through
DeleteEasy to do
I'm too relaxed to sit on the edge.
ReplyDeleteSo are we
DeleteWho needs the edge of couch or cat tree
No time for TV at my place
ReplyDeleteBut if I sat on the edge, I'd fall on my face!
Would stay awake
DeleteIf in that you did partake
Dont watch much TV at my home
ReplyDeleteRemote is owned by hubby
So I just leave ir alone.
Betty
He takes control
DeleteGiving the channels a stroll
slouched in the recliner
ReplyDeletethat's the edge of oblivion
maybe even snooze
too lazy to fall off the edge
The cat was right
DeleteGood to know at our site
I watch very little TV.
ReplyDeleteBut when I do I sit on the sofa
As relaxed as I can be.
Relaxing is the way
DeleteNo edge of your seat play
I got no problem with the TV!
ReplyDeleteNot one bit?
DeleteNo edge of your seat sit
I rarely sit down when I watch tv. I'm usually listening as I'm doing other things. But when I do, like for Game of Thrones, my world ceases to exist. I'm completely drawn into what I'm watching on the tv (or at a movie). I'm on the chesterfield with an afghan, and if something is scary, I'm peaking through my fingers. I may jump off my seat if startled. Laid back I am not! LOL Have a good one!
ReplyDeletelol no laid back you
DeleteEven when laying back at your zoo
I'm usually watching TV on the compute when I should be working! So I totally relate.
ReplyDeleteThat work will get done
DeleteAfter some fun
A tree? Now you're talking!!!
ReplyDeleteA big tree
DeleteClimb with glee
I sit back and get comfortable when I watch TV. I've never been an edge-of-the-seat kind of person, not literally.
ReplyDeleteYeah, seems kinda dumb
DeleteI want to rest my bum
I have no TV
ReplyDeleteThere's no edging for me
I type camped on the floor
Guess that makes me a bore
Perhaps I should try the edge
Like Sister Sledge
But I'd rather not
I like my carpeted spot.
Furry carpet on the butt
DeleteCan't top that at any hut

Mary that is so clever!
DeleteNicely done
DeleteHope a good Halloween there is spun
I have sat on the edge of my seat.. haha
ReplyDeleteDid you fall
DeleteBounce like a ball
What if you go over the hedge? Do you end up in the animated movie of the same name? I'd love to meet Hammy the Squirrel. We have a lot in common.
ReplyDeleteCould turn into CGI
DeleteThen you may even be able to fly
Halloween brings lots of scares
ReplyDeleteBlood and guts and fall down stairs
Vampires aren't my favorite friends
Shivers down my spine it sends
Scares me to the very edge
Some even jump right off the ledge
Jump or push?
DeleteAdmit it, you nudge their tush

N hell.. we canna even spell.....ORLIN ~~~~~ sorree dood ♥
ReplyDeleteBeen called worse
DeleteWe won't curse
My ass knows how to sit on the chesterfield and would not bode if I tried to sit on the edge
ReplyDeletehaha on it is the way
DeleteNot the edge at ones bay
I'm too old to sit on the ledge of anything. My chubby body needs full support.
ReplyDeleteMy boney ass does
DeleteHates it just because
I'm a writer, of course I sit on the ledge, always wondering what to write, what to submit, how to chose exactly the right words.
ReplyDeleteConfusing sometimes; but life is never boring behind the hedges.
Behind lots can see
DeleteAs what pops in comes to be
I am too old to sit on the edge or a ledge. Have a good day Pat.
ReplyDeletehaha stay on back
DeleteComfort doesn't lack
