So Little Time
So little time for so many worries.
I heard a weird rustling in the holly bush near the front door.
I was afraid it might be a snake.
Did you hear the story about the hawk who dropped a snake?
It landed on a lady.
The hawk dived down to retrieve it.
The snake clung to the lady for dear life, while the hawk fought to get its dinner back.
That poor lady was very much bitten and squeezed and pecked and clawed by the time it was all over.
I ignored the rustling and rushed into the house.
At the time, it seemed like the best solution to the scary noise.
Later, while doing yard work, Bob found a long-dead bird in the holly.
Whatever it is that eats dead birds is probably what I heard rustling.
What eats dead birds?
Rats?
Snakes?
Hawks?
It doesn’t really matter what.
It’s all horrifying.
I know that tonight I’ll be having a nightmare about being attacked by a snake and a hawk at the same time.
Although it’s really a more likely scenario that I’ll contract West Nile Virus this summer.
It’s all worthy of a panic attack.
So many worries, so little time.
