Simple pleasures lack that “Gosh!”
that goes with habits much more posh,
so I renounce such simple things
in favor of what richness brings.
If your response to what I choose
includes recital of what I’ll lose:
sunsets, laughter, hand-held walks,
peanut butter and midnight talks,
then perhaps I’ll change my mind
for pleasures of a simpler kind.
Prompt words today are simple pleasures, renounce, posh, recital and response.

So clever. As always. But, go for the simpler things….!

Oh Judy, put that one in your classic file. I like it, and put it in my keeper file, it says so much positive in a negative sounding way~!
