I brace myself against the door As you struggle to find the knob I tell you that he can’t come in you stand there and begin to sob I hear him breathing out there His heat permeates the door No manner of begging gets me To move from the spot on the floor Another knock, but I stand firm Why you want this, only Heaven knows So you can continue to cry there As he stands outside shouting ‘Dominoes’! |

I was thinking maybe about pizza too, but then, I suppose it could be something deeper, a mother protecting a child from an abusive man, knowing that once she steps out,all will fall like dominoes. But I'm on the pizza theory too LOL |

you always have that different view of the world. . . I like it. . . ------------------------------------------------------------ To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sharon, Pizza is the number one survival food for true expert eaters. I like it so much I don't even cut it into pieces. Just hold it and spin it while I chew. This was fun. Roger |
