Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for July 30, 2023

not when i want some peaceful time and cuppa coffee – no

Tip toe through the tulips.

Amen. Well-behaved women seldom make history.

I have to admit, I’ve never been a quiet one.

Be brave.

I come to you with a heavy foot

Just mind what you step in and who you step on.

Exactly!

I walk so quietly I sometimes scare people. I usually speak up when I am entering an elevator or some doors so they know I am there. I have been told I sort of materialize sometimes. It’s just nature for me, I am just quiet.

Aunty, the last time you tiptoed somewhere the cops were called as people hearing you feared that the elephant herd at the zoo had escaped, again.

OK, I’m sneakin’ out the back door now.

I can no longer be silent. My bones rattle, my joints squeak, my nose snorts, and my butt snores.

it’s good of auntie to give us advance notice so we can make our escape. on tiptoes…
