Question: Are you careful not to slip!?
Goodnight, all, be careful not to slip!

A Tiny Slip

Whoops,
I made
a tiny slip
not a slip
on thin ice
nor a slip
of the tongue
a wee slip
of a thing
this slip
into
oblivion
I found
the fall
quite nice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I hope there was a gorgeous man or a soft mattress at the end of the slip (or ideally both!!) Short, sweet neat and complete! I like this very much!. Obvlivion is ok, I find, once you get used to the wallpaper!

You are scaring me, Sue!.!.!.!.!.come on back here!.

It's okay to wander away,
disappear down
a dusty country road
of the mind!.
But, sometimes it's hard
to remember your way back!.!.!.things change
Look different, signposts gone
or turned around
(Or so I hear!.)
I've not found any need
To leave my cushy cushioned nest
to go adventuring down strange lanes!.
Time may come when that might be
But not just yet!.!.!.not just yet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Time keeps
On slippin,
Slippin slippin
Into
The future ;
And
The boy
Keeps on
Slippin
Into
Darkness,
When he hears
His mother say
"I know a father
Who had a son"
And he's -----
Slip sliding
Away -----
Slip sliding
Away ----
And he's
Slippin
Slippin
Slippin --
Into

of tightropes and balance beams
slip now into deserved sleep
may the Lord hold and keep
