I Wonder,
could there be little green pixies
putting strange ideas in your mind?
Just being a tad mischievous,
and never really unkind.
You’re in the middle
of a conversation
when suddenly
a stray thought
comes out of the blue…
You voice the words, shocking yourself
and your companion too….

What’s going on then, eh, Pen?
Why bb, what have you heard ????
it’s not true…any of it!!

ooh I like this one and can totally relate to it. Hardly a day goes by that some words don’t tumble out of my mouth that shouldn’t have! It would be great if I could blame it on a little green pixie! lol.
Big hugs, Nikki
hi Nikki, I think we’ve all been under the spell of the pixies, devilish little things..
… Hope you’re having a great week.. hugs to you my friend. xx

It’s one way of putting it when my mouth starts working overtime on silly issues…. Have you told someone to much Lady P ?
Now, Lady Jude, that would be telling wouldn’t it ?

Hi Pen, Mischievous in always good (I think). Read your comment about the strangling and had to laugh. Better to write a poem – fewer consequences, anyway. Keep it up, Pen.
Glad I made you laugh Monica, see? it’s the pixies at it again!! tsk tsk.!! I’m as innocent as the day is long. *cough, cough, splutter. splutter* … ahem.!! Glad you enjoyed the pondering of my poor brain…

Ha! I like this, Pen. This happens just as much as when I begin to say something and, before the words come out, I have forgotten what it was I was going to say.
Green pixies? That works for me!
ah yes, Leslie, always the pixies, how could it be anything else? xx

Very sweet n subtle.
Hello and welcome Vikas, glad you enjoyed the ode to pixies and their mischievous ways.

(¸.•´ (¸.• ♫ ♪ ABSOLUTELY. Been there. Heard the voices. Said the words. And got the bizarre stares from family & friends as their jaws dropped to the flow. What??? What did I say? What’s even strange is when you don’t even realize that you said something because the green pixies sprinkled a dash of that amnesia dust on you just as soon as those words sprewed from your mouth! Uuugh! Seriously, I said that? Really! WTF??
I know Seth, those little green devils have mastered the art of making us mere mortals squirm with embarrassment. Whilst laughing their little socks off. xx

LOL! I think most of us have done that, often musing, “did I REALLY say that out loud??!!” :-O
