One last screw

Posted on May 27, 2021 by pensitivity101

I was one of many,
One hundred and fifty in fact,
Excited at reaching my potential
As we were all emptied out of the pack.
My friends jostled for attention,
Were picked up and screwed into place,
We gradually dwindled in number
Surely there wouldn’t be waste?
Why oh why wasn’t I chosen?
I was shiny and sharp like the rest,
I pushed myself forward regardless,
Trying to prove I was best!
Not many of us left now,
Surely soon I would get my wish?
But no, I am all alone here,
The only screw left in the dish.

About pensitivity101

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too. On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts. From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives. We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
