    her eyes were a question mark, her mouth a semi-colon
    her ears parentheses to her bold face
    the caret of her nose pointed to something lacking
    no character in her empty header space

        Carter called again today,
        Enquiring of his ladder
        But I rushed past him through the door
        And blamed it on my bladder

          I am a bowl, chipped at the rim
          you snag on me
          scratched, sore
          but still you sip
          the heat
          the salt
          you spin me to a smoother spot
          and try again

                  I think the problem is they don’t rhyme.

                    @brianbilston

                    Carter called again today, enquiring of his ladder
                    Each time he comes around for it, he's angrier and madder
                    It was his father's pride and joy, his grandpa's treasure too
                    He'll rip your heart out when he learns you dropped it in the loo!

                    And why'd you choose to use the ultra full-strength bleach?
                    Ensuring that restoring it was now quite out of reach.

                    Why start with the biggest part, to try a new technique?
                    That acid did not leach the bleach, it made the ladder weak.

                    What made you choose "Remove the screws", as the next thing to try?
                    There is no doubt, Carter finds out, and you are gonna die!

                    And trying to burn the acid out! Well that was really dumb!
                    When Carter knows, well, I suppose he'll knock you on your bum.

                    A chainsaw now? That's not the tool for fixing massive burns!
                    I do not plan to be near here, when Carter next returns!

                    That YouTube short was just AI, there are no real-life hacks
                    For assembling a pile of chips by hitting with an axe
                    If I were you I'd sweep that pile of splinters off the floor
                    That booming sound, I guess, is Carter pounding at your door.
