Interspecies Advice

I threw my troubles overboard, but they refused to sink.
They came rolling right back to me, washed pure and clean and pink.
I hardly recognized them, as they looked so fresh and new,
free of the ooze and grime and dirt and all the past year’s goo.

I wiped them dry on dungarees, and, my efforts spent,
I found out just exactly where all my troubles went.
My jeans now stained and ruined, of my troubles I’m not rid.
My troubles had popped out again from where they’d only hid!

So please tell the panda, the giraffe and kangaroo,
that whate’er you do to rid yourself, past troubles will find you!
You can hide up in the treetops or bound over the plain,
but your troubles will come after you and cling to you again.

Words for Wordlle prompt 352 are: fresh, clean, pure, ooze, dungarees, ruin, rolling, panda, spent, overboard, sink, new.

        I know quite a few people who would agree with you. most of them need therapy, though.
        One of my grandmother’s stories goes thus: Jews complained to G-d that the burdens of their troubles are unbearable, and when they look at their neighbors, their own troubles seem so much heavier. “Fine,” said the A-mighty, “drop all your troubles right here.” They did as directed, forming a huge pile. “Now,” said G-d, “go and pick any trouble you like, and if someone else’s is easier, feel free to pick that one.” A great stampede took some time to sort out, but eventually, every person ended up with his own trouble.
        It does sound much better in Yiddish, but you get the gist.
