Figment gone wild -- for dVerse Quadrille #203

   Can't Win All


Tell you little figment bout

my imagination wild 


Was a little boy again 

getting the cows to come in 


Birdie, workhorse disliked me

concerned for the cows' freedom 


Walked over and kicked me good 

in the back I was bedridden 


I limp still today

    That's quite the country tale told in only 44 words!

    Jim, Birdie sounds like she had some strong opinions she just had to share in this "little figment."

    Well I will brag a bit ~~ never had any difficulty bringing four cows back from the pasture to the barn. Even had to cross a narrow, shallow creek. They loved me.

    There are those things that will leave a mark forever.

    Jim, I hope that is only a figment. If not, you are blessed you're still alive and walking at all. Um, if a work horse kicked my child like that I'd send it to the glue factory, no joke! So sorry you were harmed as a child, with continuing reminders of it with the pain.

    It does seem a bit unfair for a bug to get swatted when it was simply behaving in the way it was meant to. :)
