It has been sitting there for over a month.
That stupid thing.
It looks dumb.
It's dying.
Why didn't I?
It would have been easy
Just take it to the trash
It's not a far walk
I hate it.
I've wasted
So much energy
'Twas unnecessary
It will take Two Minutes.
I'll Go!
And so we walk
Shark Bait (O, ah ah) and I
Out, down, across the lot
The dumpster looms,
It's gone.
So easy!
In a happier place.
All because I trashed
The dying, and discusting
House Plant.

They are just dust collectors anyways...
ReplyDeleteI know. I had put it out on my porch because it was collecting dust here in the house and shedding everywhere. Then I just never took care of it. Now however, it's met its doom!
