Worry

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry and post my fishing adventures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ur5pZxbd7hE

She worries about
everything,
real and imagined,
"what if this? What if that?"
I watched my
Mom
worry herself right
into the
grave one disastrous
December night.
My girlfriend doesn't care.
She wants me to
worry right along
with her.
And when I don't
she
gets angry.

My Dad said,
"They can kill us,
but they can't eat us."
I share this with her.
Nothing!
Just
worry, worry, worry.

Been there, done that, could not phrase it so well.

[Thomas W Case]

Thank you. I agree.

[Ken Simm.]

Oh. You think I couldn't?

[Thomas W Case]

I'm sorry, I got distracted. My bad.

[John the Baptist]

"What if?" are the two most terrifying words in the English language.

[Thomas W Case]

Very true. Thanks for the comment.
