A little help is grand. It can be a foot or a hand. Don't rule out the feet. They can leave one in defeat. Or they can leaving one winning. Maybe just leave your head spinning. It is something I often do. But you are used to it at our zoo.
You pace the floor.
You stare at the door.
You wait and wait,
For date or mate.
Does it help?
Do you yelp?
Do things change?
Maybe like Lego they rearrange?
You spit and sputter.
You may even mutter.
Could also shutter.
Damn, out of butter.
Does it help?
Do you yelp?
Do things differ?
Your back become stiffer?
You leave it go.
You stub your toe.
You swear and swear.
Maybe pull out your hair.
Does it help?
Do you yelp?
Do things grow?
Would that be a no?
You ignore.
Forget a chore.
Sit and teeth grind.
It's on your mind.
Does it help?
Do you yelp?
Do things get done?
Go ask a nun?
You think about doing.
From writing to canoeing.
Whatever is your thing.
You think about next spring.
Does it help?
Do you yelp?
Do you ever finish?
Does it start or diminish?
Do you do things that don't really help out? Like tensing up when one is out and about? Do you put yourself through things that don't need to be? Does it really help thee? When you look at it that would be no. You just become your own worst foe. Unless pacing the floor helps you lose weight and you want that to come up to the plate. Then hey, it helps in a way. I'll now go help myself to some food of Cass and continue to be an ever so helpful little rhyming ass.
Experience spring, have a fling.

ReplyDeleteGood morning True
DeleteGlad it's you!
Hank
Good Morning Hank!
DeleteI think about canoeing
DeleteIt’s been awhile since I did that...
Going into a canoe
DeleteBlah, here that gets a boo
Like yelling at the television when you know your team can't hear you?
ReplyDeleteYeah, that sure is one
DeleteDoesn't work a bit when spun
Pacing the floor can be the way
ReplyDeleteTo stay awake at my bay
After a sleepless night
The afternoon drowsiness I fight
Can sure be a pain
DeleteWhen sleep you can't drain
I pace the floor sometimes but mostly when waiting for food!
ReplyDeleteFood shall come
DeleteHave to pace some
A Helping hand across the Land
ReplyDeleteGave real help not just in name
Got tensed up
Without a rub
Good souls who were willing friends
Hank
Willing can be the way
DeleteAt many a bay
We all pace the floor all the time even if the Mom happens to stand up, since she just might give us a snack. Pat you have a fantastic day.
ReplyDeleteA snack sure is grand
DeletePace and see what's in her hand
wear the good luck t-shirt for a test. It helps
ReplyDeleteRight
DeleteDay or night?
I've noticed how I hunch up my shoulders/but that maybe because I insist of rolling up boulders. :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Rolling them down
DeleteCould win in any town
I talk to myself
ReplyDeletebut it really doesn't help much
maybe I should do something different
and stay more in touch
betty
Never know
DeleteWhich way it could go
I do it all and more
ReplyDeleteAt my shore!
Geez, so bad
DeleteAt your pad
It's about as productive as watching water boil.
ReplyDeleteThat it is
DeleteWith the productive biz
Welp, it didn't help.
ReplyDeleteNot one bit?
DeleteAin't that some shit
Today I have been pacing
ReplyDeleteand my heart was racing.
My hubby is on a new infusion.
all his arthritic drugs-one mass confusion.
He just called and said he is OK
See?! You're right...what more can I say.
haha proved the cat right
DeleteBut yeah, that could send nerves for a flight
orlin N cassie.....if noe butter waz in de houz, boomer wooda hada cow.....tho may bee that wooda been a good thing...coz him coulda getted it "fresh" sew ta speek ;) ♥♥☺☺
ReplyDeletehaha a fresh supply every day
DeleteCould work out his way
If I bang my foot on something, trip over something, etc., I often yell at the inanimate object. In fact, I often call it something or other so bad, I'd never call a real person anything like that.
ReplyDeletehaha but what if said person stepped on your foot or tripped you?
DeleteThen would it come due?
Nahhh, I'd never be that mean to a human, or even an animal.
DeleteAn animal I would not
DeleteA person, depends on who was caught
I do lots of things that don't help out in the long run. :)
ReplyDelete~Jess
That many do
DeleteFrom zoo to zoo
Well, I feel like the cleaning I do around the house just doesn't help. As soon as I pick up, someone immediately comes along to muck it all up.
ReplyDeleteDogs and kids can sure do that
DeleteAs they scurry about and spread scat
Always glad of a helping hand... especially when no-one is about.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Can help
DeleteAnd not make one yelp
