I’m like a cat
Exhausted and tired
I want to curl up
Close my eyes
But I have a sore paw
(foot)
And I’m limping on crutches
I think I need the vet!
Some tender loving care
To return to health

Earplugs

You had to jump up or down from one step to another depending on what your friends shouted. She couldn’t remember exactly how it worked but it was fun . That must have been 50 years ago.
She had walked past these steps every day for months. The tangle of vegetation was getting worse. Today though, she had decided to climb them. There was an old grey wooden door at the top of them. She would knock on and see if anyone answered??
