Does a touch

In sorry days

When it was required

Now yesterday

When I failed to

Touch you

Now I fail

In the midst of a cauldron steam

When washing up

Was a dream

When together

We would  conquer mountains

Now your look

And the bank

I am counting

(hehehe)  I love the cynicism in the piece.  I rather like brooding, facetious moods.  This one is busting at the seams with it.  Thanks for sharing.  Take care, Liz...Carpe Diem

I'll do it by the line on comments and it is on the fly so spelling goes as well

Does a touch

(allowed fingers)

In sorry days

When it was required

(just hold me)

Now yesterday

When I failed to

Touch you

Now I fail

In the midst of a cauldron steam

When washing up

(found the wrong person)

Was a dream

When together

We would  conquer mountains

(stuff they put in old fashioned laundry machines)

Now your look

And the bank

I am counting

(24 miles away, no electrics, no water, and no car and you can't get there to get the money)
