Plummet 

From the top of the cedar 

To my cat below

Who is stalking 

Their baby

You're making it difficult

Take it seriously

I will rescind my offer

Doldrums, routine

Waiting, Idling, Loitering,

Time slips slowly by

Enduring, Suffering, Forbearing

Sameness, apathy

Boredom

April 2016 Challenge Day 17: Plausible

Questioning me will bring futility.

When someone chewed your footwear.
