the little things

the little things that remind me of you

It's the little things,
really,
that remind me of you ...

Cleaned out the cat box,
clogged the toilet.

Threw out your old socks,
rearranged the closet.

Scraped the gunk off the plate,
removed the brown from my shoe.

All the little things I hate,
just like you.

oh sue me I was in a mood.

You really said it here.....the things you dislike in life were all connected with him and now you remember him when you do them. Cleverly stated. Lydi**

I enjoy how your words entertain me, even when they drip with vitriol. Well written, as is the norm for you, keep it up ma'am!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much, yes, I like vitriol. It's fun.

"little things, that you do, make me glad, I'm in love with you!" (bobby Goldsboro)

such mundane things in this poem, made so poetic ...nicely done.

Thanks. that is exactly what I thought, as I was cleaning out the box -- a nice happy little diddy

Hey KL I got your back with bail money if they wanna make a fuss... I love the cleaning out the kat litter part... so .. er... so you!! lol...

seriously, your poems, especially the ranting kind are just the best... but hope you can now purr some.. until the litter box needs cleaning again... If you don''t mind, I might purrrloin that line sometime, give you credit of course...

[Lyn Anderson]

Of course, I love it when people make poems off of thoughts during reviews -- I do it all the time -- ask Delmar and Frieda.
