Question: Have you ever bought something on a whim!?
Gargoyle
by C!.S!. Scotkin

Went to the dollar store today,
just to browse a bit,
a little gargoyle on a shelf
having a laughing fit!

looks at the world with plaster eyes
you know he got the joke
hands on mouth, holds chortle in
I hope he doesn’t choke…!.

A true Cathedral reject, he
now sits upon my shelf!.
A reflection of the little imp
that lives within myself!.

Investing only one green back,
a great reminder, he
not to take the world or
myself, too seriously!.

A gargoyle is certainly a metaphor for something other than a gargoyle! lol I like what are you have attempted, but meter needs attention!. (Of course that is only my opinion, so do with it what you want!.) Still, a nice read with a message!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a cute way of expressing what we all do in some form!. I collect hardware and software, my computer is filled with stuff I'll never use!. I am electronic gadget driven and I troll for bargains on the Internet!. I am a card carrying member of IA "Internet Anonymous!." It's a powerful drug that cripples my sleep!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Gaston sounds like a dream!. That is my weakness - figurines!. Hard to pass up - no matter how many I have - if one catches my "mood" - I buy it!. I have a display case for them now - so it gives them a "home" - when they are not out - giving me inspiration ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's just the sort of thing I do,
Pleasure buy!.
