Sometimes,you will be astounded to read, I get bored.
As a middle aged puddle splasher boredom is actually quite difficult to achieve.
So I split myself in two.
Mentally.
I’m not a complete fool.
I’m a wholewit not a halfwit.
As soon as I did it – I realised – out of the two of us – I didn’t know which was the real me.
Two’s a crowd
I was only one of them at any one time.
Whichever one I was. I really didn’t like the other one.
That guy had problems.
I just didn’t like the way he did things.
You know when you get that feeling about someone?
I didn’t tell him but I tried to undermine everything he did.
I enjoyed it when things didn’t go right for him.
I liked seeing him suffer.
Memory
Then I remembered that day I was bored.
It was me all along.
The Swap
I tried being the other guy for a bit.
I found the other me was even worse.
We did agree on one thing.
The old me – we both hated.
The other guy was an idiot.
Tim Willows Additional Thoughts.
I’ve turned into a complete blonker.
However, I still use the wisdom of Solomon.
I just happened to think of an old poem I wrote, and turned it into this post.
Quite a feat as I don’t remember anything usually.
I split myself in two,played the one against the other
to try and see who would win,
Then,when I discovered, that we were one another,
I had to start all over again.
Are you wearing nail polish in that picture?

All revealed in the link 🙂 a blogger who is bonkers is a blonker , which is my term for me and people who join in. Which means you are the latest blonker 🙂

Liking the thought that you both hated the old you and thought the other guy was an idiot.
Great stuff 😀
Is there an application for membership or some sort of initiation to join the middle aged puddle splashers club?

When you say “work”,
What do you mean exactly?
Puddles = points?

First you have to make something out of nothing. Then make sure the sense out of nonsense isn’t actual sense but nonsense that makes sense. That’s the work

The inside of your head must be a very strange place but it’s nice to know that you’ve got company in there :O) x

not strange to me.. 🙂 yet many pretend the strange isn’t there… all these adults walking around, I’m sure you’ve seen them .but inside .how many fallacies,wrong doings,mistakes do they hide from.. they should split themselves in two and find out the worst in each other… a way to progress!

So we should let ourselves judge ourselves to discover the best and the worst – actually that’s a pretty good idea……but how can we trust ourselves to be honest….xx
