just a
(thought):
who taught the rope
to be taut?
and what if it
forgot?
Note:
This little question came into my head as I went to hang the washing out today. I grabbed my pen and wrote it down and then returned to the job. Mysteriously, after I'd hung half of the washing out, the washing line forgot to be taut and all of the washing landed on the ground! Got to admit, this has me puzzled but in a good sort of way :)

What a mystery indeed......perhaps ropes are slow learners. Ha.

ha gotta love those little thought conundrums....
ReplyDeletewas it taught or made to be that way? but then again, maybe it wants to be something else....i miss the smell of wash off the line....
Pretty good question...a new one that I've never pondered. Sounds as if it has a mind of its own :)
