The Little Things

With a bit and a bite I add this touch
Of the much of the such and such
Just a reminder of the things that be
That most of the time just bothers me.

Some times they are called the little things
Those things that cling and ping and sing
Those things that needle and wheedle our brain
Those little things that drive us insane

Like pick up this and make sure about that
And make certain that you take out the cat.
Go to the cleaners add that to your list
And just do it without getting piss’t.

It’s the little things that fill up my day
That grow the forest that block my way
It’s the little things that fill up my mind
That stops my think and makes me blind.

It’s the bits and pieces that fill up my bowl
And rust the hinges of the door of my soul

This is wonderfully reminiscent of your poem "The Golden Key" so it accordingly becomes a keeper...

and I've been told I'm a pretty good assistant!

I'll be your secretary ...
I'll do your odds and ends
To all the little details
I will mend and tend

I will run your errands
I'll go to the store
When you play golf
I'll even keep score

I'll take care of it all
Dont you worry about a thing
I'll even whistle while I work
Heck...I'll even sing

Just make sure to remember
I dont work for free
Keep the poetry coming
and dont forget the tea

Oh and I also expect a bonus
Dont forget the *winkies* from the boss
If I dont get me *winkies*
I will get quite cross

So thats the thick and thin of it
Give me my *winkies* or I QUIT



LOL *winkiewinkie*

ps...I want a raise if I have to sweep up after dragons

Sy--I like your whimsy
     it makes me smile!


        

In the dew of little things,
the heart finds its morning
and is refreshed.

Hate to state, but I relate...  the innate can grate, there's no debate, but is such fate?  If you ate the bait, don't abate, contemplate or wait just let the rate of your gait dissipate the full plate before it's too late and the date becomes a blank slate...
