Peeping Through the Keyhole

He should not have But he did He tried not to But he had to No one was looking He thought he’d not get caught He peeked He looked He saw He wished he hadn’t He wished he could undo Take it back And unsee what he saw No one saw him But he saw him He knows And now he can’t unsee The thing he saw Submitted on January 5, 2019 for contest SLAP THE MUSE AND TURN IT LOOSE sponsored by JOHN LAWLESS - RANKED 4TH

So well written, Line, depicting the fix we get ourselves into sometimes! Great write as usual! Snow plow guys have done what I described in the Shoveling Snow write too many times! I just get the driveway cleared and they pile more snow on it - just one of the vicissitudes of life I guess - ha - Bob
