You have been dusty for a while.
Okay! For a long while.
You have been donning the corners waiting to be put to use.
You do know, but, that day is not going to come. You have been rendered useless for the last 3 years and there is no hope, henceforth too.
You have tried everything in your capacity to hold my attention – relentless stares, soundless cries and dust storms on movements.
You have despaired for nothing works on my thick hide.
You accuse me of being lazy for which I would like to correct you. It is called ‘laid-back’, sounds a lot better.
If I am not wrong, you seem to have mapped up my mind which has been dreaming of buying a new oven.
You are alluring me, these days, with the money you will fetch me to fulfill my dream.
Okay. Fine. Thank you.
I want to congratulate you for your time has arrived. You have moved up occupying the top spot on my priority list. The grandparents left today after their 10 days stay. The Bar-A-Thon is ending today with this post. Thus, there is nothing more important on my mind than you for now.
I promise to find a new home for you in the next 15 days.
The old bookshelf, the pram, the high chair, the car seat – your wait is finally over.
This post has been written for Day 7 of the 7 day blogging challenge BAR-A-THON.
Today’s prompt is ‘Promise (to yourself/someone else)’.
