Pure Silliness...OR...I amuse myself, therefore I am...

So, I have been (desperately?) looking for and finding ways to amuse myself the past few weeks. Well, moreso than usual. Below is the latest example of chuckle inducing, time wasting stuff. It was inspired by a sentence I read on a Leonard Cohen fansite that ended with the words: "...kittens of destiny." That line struck me as VERY funny and opened up the concept that you see below, I then got a bit silly with...
______________________________________________

The carpet of their lives was soiled by the puppies of broken dreams....
~~~~~~~~~~

The ice field of their existence was shattered by the penguins of fate...
~~~~~~~~~~

The ocean of their changing relationship was snagged by the fingerlings of romance...
~~~~~~~~~~

The wooded lot, that had become their daily lives, harbored racoons of sweet revenge.
~~~~~~~~~~

Their cave of dead end relationships, was occupied by the bear of great remorse.

OR

Within their cave of dead end relationships, slept the bear of great remorse.
~~~~~~~~~

The upstream-spawn, that was their morning ritual, was slapped awake by the salmon of self-awareness.
~~~~~~~~~~

Like the mossy bed of a forest floor, their sheltered lives were dampened by the hoary marmot of hopelessness.
~~~~~~~~~~

With life mirroring the sunken feeling of a hunting seal, the seagull of hope saved the day.
~~~~~~~~~~

Discouraged by the silence of averted eyes, the maxim writer looked to tree tops, for help from the eagle of inspiration.
~~~~~~~~~

Unfortunately, I probably could go on and on and on....So, I am applying the brakes on this chapter of my life, missing the porcupine of kismet by mere inches....
