The exercise:

The topic for the Four Line Poem this week is: biting off more than you can chew.

The fundraising walk is tomorrow - last minute donations greatly appreciated!

Mine:

I think Spike is getting carried away.
"At least he's not chewing on your new boots!"
True, but it's hard to play fetch with a stick
That's still attached to the ground by its roots.

  1. Heh, if Spike's like any dog I've known, he'll get that stick up anyway, and then his owner's will have a bigger problem :)

    Biting off more than you can chew

    "It's very dark down here, are you sure that this is right?"
    "It's where the vampire lives; now can you turn on the light?"
    "...I can see so many coffins, what are we to do?"
    "My dear, I think we've bitten off more than we can chew!"

  2. Aaargh! Stray apostrophe in owner's! Please forgive me, I'm still working on my first coffee of the day :(
    I hate when I spot my fingers have typed something without my mind noticing it. The downside to touch-typing...

    I like the scene you've created in your four lines :)
