PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We had beautiful white tile
installed in kitchen. It looked
so neat and clean. One day the
deranged one became upset over
his coffee. It was not as full
strength as he would have liked.

I had a large glass floor vase
sitting in the living room corner.
I had recieved it as a gift at
Christmas time.

The deranged one picked it up in
a fit of anger, threw it in the
kitchen floor. Broke it into a
million pieces. The glass cut
the tile in several places. So
I had to place throw rugs over
the damaged tile.

On another occasion the deranged
one started an argument over money.
I was about to balance the check
book when he began. I was in no
mood to be bothered with him. When
he saw I was not going to become
engaged, he started griping over
the bread was not fresh. I told
him I can't help the bread is not
fresh. He just kept on.

Finally I grabbed the loaf of bread
started swinging it at him. I yelled
eat the bread now or I'll beat the
hell out of you with it. When he
realized I was upset, he started
using the bread.

This is just another event in the life
of a deranged one.
