American Sentence + One

 


Cocksure enthusiasm meshed with poor judgement leads to a dark place.



half-baked / half-assed

half-bagged / half-there

attemptin' to focus / lovin' on you

from a seriously cock-eyed / point of view

    I like how your dribbled wine into the glass. You made me nod with the first sentence and laugh loudly at the 2nd part. I'm liking the poems coming from this image.

    Another Rosé Wine did the job really, really, 'up right'. If I was the cat I would have made myself more comfortable by laying down if I was finished drinking.

    Poor kitty...
    Hugs,

    Love what you've done with the pic, Helen, the humor and just a dash of reality thrown in to make it salty and stick.

    You put on your smart hat for this one, Helen. I loved the American sentence, and had a grand chuckle with the second. Good stuff, my friend!

    Perfect! Both hit right on target & the second feels like a half-remembered chorus.

    told you it's not milk, kitty, but you seem to enjoy it. at least before your head hits the table. :)
    enjoyed both verses, especially the American Sentence.

    Very nicely done. To my chagrin, I have had far too many nights when I have been far surer of myself than the evidence suggested I should be... with dire consequences...
