Crumbs

A quick poem about a quick-fix wish for problem-solving.

I wish

That problems could be swept away

Like toast crumbs from a counter-top

Brushed to the floor to disappear from sight.

You know they're still there

And stand on them occasionally

But then they're just a nuisance

And an annoyance.

And eventually, when you've forgotten about them

They just get swept up

And taken out with the trash.

Author's Note

I won't lie. I wrote this in about three minutes while waiting for my toast to pop out of the toaster.

A very nice thought ! Life would be so much more pleasant if problems could indeed be brushed off into the trash so easily.....would like to be able to do that to a particular situation currently. For a quick write.....nice insight.
