I am the grit in the gears, the missing bolt, I am the poker of sticks into spokes. I like to know how things work, but sometimes when I take them apart and rebuild them, I have a few pieces left over. I am a man, so I tend to leave reading the instructions until after it goes wrong. And like all men I have a comprehensive mental map of the world and never need to ask directions. I never get lost, only sometimes I'm late, or end up in the wrong place entirely. It's what we do.
I think "The Spin Out" would might be a better title for your post. My opinion only...
ReplyDeleteGlad to see the old goat put to good use in the end....would have hated to see the poor dear banished.
Yes, an American idiom. That was the reference, as in frowning less and engaging in frivolity.
ReplyDeleteThe spinning out... well, the goat made a fair rotary mower.. but a better knot at the end of the rope might have been wise.
Mule-iscious!
