Not Now Please Not Now

Have you ever reached into that bag of goodies that is your life and experienced that tummy-dropping sensation when you find it to be a tad empty a little short-handed not containing what you need for your current situation and everything absolutely everything becomes one massive all pervasive reverberating echo making you feel positively, undoubtedly unable to cope and in your mind all you can hear pulsing over and over is a great big disbelieving “Not now, please not now!!” and then you pucker up pull your shoulders back ignore the smell and scrape the burnt top layer of toast into the sink leaving the deluge of burnt crumbs for later ‘cause hey we all love a good ole buttery crunch.
