Pet Peeves

Hypodermic needle sharp.
I wear thick gloves and work boots, and even then, at the wrong angle, they get in.
Like I said, if the tip snaps off inside, get ready for some swelling and annoying pain till it travels back out of you.

Ugh! That's horrible. I think I would dig mine up because I wouldn't want to deal with that.

Doesn't a Rose have thorns?
And yet the rose's thorns are tolerated because it yields such beauty.


"But alas, perfection, love and beauty, all only mask what is hidden below, A secret that must remain.
The reality of the Rose shows a sorrowful being,
Saddened by its curse, the potential to cause great pain.
The happiness and the joy, the eternal unquestioning love,
The Rose can turn all this to scorn.
The beautiful creation, the sad and scared soul,
Only too aware of the truth; Every Rose has a Thorn."

That's what I tell myself as the spikes are jabbing me when I'm working out there.
