Thanks For Asking
by Maria FrancescaMy spleen is dissatisfied
and my toenails are conspiring against me.
The underside of my left breast
has been diagnosed
with borderline personality disorder.
My heels are bipolar.
I'm recovering nicely
from a bout of corneal scabies
but my canine teeth
still have fleas.
My knees hate each other,
but that makes me very popular.
My esophagus is particularly vendictive
but, to be fair,
my stomach had it coming.
My nape notices everything
and documents it all on twitter
but I don't follow it;
I do follow my nipples, though -
I can't seem to help it.
So that covers this week -
Thanks for asking.
And you? 05/06/2013 Posted on 05/06/2013

| Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 05/06/13 at 01:02 PM You do know how to make me smile. Loved the canine teeth with fleas, and there's something about bipolar heels that makes me want to tap dance. ;) |
