MOUNTAINS AND MOLEHILLS

My poem "Mountains And Molehills" is about how some people who can turn the most trivial into a disaster, while there are other people who can make the worst emergency into a commonplace occurrence....

"MOUNTAINS AND MOLEHILLS"

 

There are people who get a thrill

Of making mountains out of molehills

Who make the very most trivial 

Into a real total disaster shrill

 

On the other hand

 

There are people whose tendency

Of making molehills out of mountains

Who make the worst emergency

Into the most trivial of migraines

I wonder which outlook is worse. I can't decide.

Sandie....This fellow that keeps annoying you....My thinking is that he is "annoyed" at you about "something" and he wants to irritate you as much as he can....He certainly has a very "petty" mentality....

Ron....Of course if there's a problem...."somebody" is going to use Google as their "soapbox" and are going to take their "problem" to as far as it will take them....To the "max" to make "their case"....

If we don't do it ourselves, all we have to do is Google the problem and we will find that someone has elaborated on it to the point of ridiculousness.

Yes, so true. Especially those people who would pick up a word or a context off someone else's poem, and then make a mountain out of it, write a whole lecturing out of it like they know everything.

Really, unsolicited advice are a dime a dozen. There's no need to offer for free. A dime is a dime! Ten dimes make a dollar! You know what I mean?

Sandie
