THINKING

He was thinking ….

That was her complaint about him.

He was thinking.

He was a quiet guy.

When she’d ask, “A penny for

your thoughts?” he’d just say,

“Oh just thinking. Just thinking.”

That is what bothered her and she

let him know this on a regular basis.

So he thought about this constant

complaint of her’s, He tried to tell

her what was going on at work

- the power struggles going on there -

but she’d jump in and cut him off

and tell him what he ought to do.

Then he’d think about that and

say to himself, “It ain’t worth it.
It ain’t worth it. She really doesn’t

want to think with me.”

Then he’d think about

why he tended to repeat,

repeat, what he was thinking.

Then he laughed. She gets

mad with my doing too much

thinking?  I even get mad

at too much thinking.

Think about that.
