The thought “I feel despondent” popped into my head when I was driving to work one morning earlier this week, (and yes, I do think strange things sometimes, although the constant need to leave your place of comfort and go to work for someone else can tend to do that to a person) and of course, being as I was driving, I could not write it down. I tried to remember it later, but alas, it transmogrified itself by the time I got around to typing it. It’s not “right”, it’s not sensible, it’s a bit forced, but it made me smile a wry little smile.
I’ve dented my spond,
despondent am I,
life was going to fly,
but instead I just sigh,
’cause my feet are still on the ground.
So I figured I’d be more proactive,
and bash out the dent that I found,
then I polished my spond,
till it shone like the sun,
and nearly burnt out my eye!
Well, my spond had a good laugh at that,
then it fell over backwards, and splat,
when I looked around,
it was down on the ground,
dented and sporting a scratch.
I’ve given up trying to fix it,
live and let live, I now say,
and I’ll be ok,
even if, on some days,
my spond is sporting a dent.

Sponds are meant to be a bit bashed around and dented – enjoyed your “little bit of silliness”. …and don’t you hate it when you can’t write it down !!

Oh yes, I had a lovely poem running in my head when i was walking the other morning and I even said it over about five times but when I got home some other gibberish leaked out the end of my pen! Grrrr…..sigh…..

Um – I think I can guess what a spond is but enlighten me, do! I absolutely loved this – I’ve told you before you remind me of Pam Ayres!

Ah, tricked you I did. My “spond” is just a play on the word despondent – but I guess it also describes my mood/feelings of that moment. Just my bit of silliness.

I think anyone who doesn’t have a dented spond every now and then is fooling themselves! Thanks for sharing this delightful bit with us.

Excellent Claudette. Some days are certainly like that, but hopefully not too many. A slightly dented spond is part of our individual character 🙂

It definitely is Ruth. My dents show my life journey, and have been earned, even if not desired.

Sorry Claudette, this made me grin a lot and given the subject matter… Your use of rhyme is very clever, highlighting your spond. Hope it’s taken a break 🙂

No need to be sorry, I love smiles, and laughter – it’s why I write my sillies into verse. My spond seems to have adjusted for the moment. 🙂
