Shit happens

by Everlasting   Oct 13, 2015


Walking on a sidewalk
while looking straight ahead
I see some people coming my way
but I also see them moving forward

I keep on walking on
Now it's just me on the sidewalk
walking, while releasing a yawn,
when suddenly, smack...

A few drops hit the ground
a few inches from where my feet are.
I look to the sky. I turn around.
I look everywhere. I see some cars.

I look upwards again,
the sky is cloudy and dark,
but I see no rain drizzling down.
Now confused, but before continuing my walk,

I look up again
above from where my feet are
just to see a bunch of pigeons on a wire line
releasing their shit.

And I, I just started to run.

That's how I started my morning, I was a foot away from being showered. . .

But i guess the good thing is that by luck or a blessing, we can dodge the shit that comes to us

    You really had me laughing....lol....I was waiting for the rain to start or somebody to be dumping something on your head.
    Great job on the humor.
    Take care

    Funny indeed. Mind you, I never personally understood the good fortune attached to a bird shitting on you......
    All the best,

      Me neither. I haven't experience it... I almost did.

    Hello,

    Bird poop is disgusting. i remember a school trip to Boulogne-sur-Mer. I stepped out of the coach and SPLAT! It was awful, but perhaps worse than this was my so called school friends mocking me...

    I like the moral, if we know about the nasty stuff we can side step it. Though sometimes that side step can be like jumping from the fire into the frying pan.

    A good write,

    Take care,

    Michael

      That is really true, one must be extra careful to not jump on the frying pan instead...
