It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse

A Poem by Thomas W Case
"

I'm pleased to announce my new book with this title. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DY4XDQYC

"
It's the little things that
drives one mad,
a snapped shoelace,
on your way to the
liquor store in the
driving snow.
A cockroach in
the cereal,
dead batteries, when all you
want to do is listen
to music.
Shifty-eyed people in
my house, quietly plotting
my demise.
It's the tree of
life, cut down to clear
space for a parking lot.
No love from my brother.
Another frosty day in April.
Cigarette prices constantly
rising astronomically.
Footsteps in an empty
hallway.
It's Just a hop, skip, and
a jump to the madhouse.

Haha, except maybe for the shifty-eyed types plotting your death, this applies well to most of us I think. The little things that drive us mad, I'm with you on that!😅
