Now if this connects with yesterday's prompt, it's clear that someone with a blind-spot has provided one of the boys with a hand-me down that has turned out to be somewhat inappropriate... you've been gifted a second-hand snake, perhaps? (I lost track of Mr. Wriggles, I guess he never made the trip to the new house with you. So let's call this one Ms. Slithery :) )
Hand-me-downs All your hand-me-downs Are pick-me-ups of spring joy And cheerful colours!
----- Um, this hand-me-down, is a leg-me-down, plus foot. Where did you get it??
Hah, that second haiku would be rather concerning, wouldn't it?
Morganna - really like the middle line of your first haiku. And your second haiku is, unfortunately, very true - it's something Kat deals with in her counselling work quite a bit.

Perfectly good clothes
ReplyDeleteOutgrown before they're outworn
On to the next child.
Sometimes, families
Pass down trauma, fear, grief
Instead of just clothes.
Greg - no. Just... no.
