Notes on a Serviette: 836

Three Word Wednesday requires participants

to use the three words of the week in a composition.

The words this week are: habitual, illustrious, and jumbled.

Life is Chaos

Life is chaotic—

Jumbled by outer forces

Beyond our control.

Habitual traits—

Our own dumb contribution

To the current mess.

Leaders disappoint—

Creatures of straw and tin.

Illustrious? No.

Creatures of straw and tin - no heart...no courage - yes indeed..so why are those tits always in power? I imagine they weren't the winners or popular at school and are now taking out their revenge on entire nations...sigh..and yes life is indeed chaos...
