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 :)

Pretty good question...a new one that I've never pondered. Sounds as if it has a mind of its own :)
