Thank you Tess Kincaid, for bringing such artsy collectibles to our magpie tales today.
Where is Mr. Sock Monkey?
As he hangs on for dear life,
my thoughts scramble
round and round
in continual whirl
over the
fragility
of my own life
as compared
to his.
The truth is-
as human beings go
we're eggs
rolling briefly
until
in a moment's notice
the curtain closes.
Yet one stuffed sock
survives endlessly
in the winding
fabric
of endless life
with no expiration date.
LIFE IS A ONE TIME OFFER, USE IT WELL.

My wife gets tired of me saying, "Life is Short."
