The Last One
I often say -
"this is the last one".
while laying in bed
binge watching a series
ignoring my desire to sleep
I say to myself -
"this is the last one"
While playing a game
like #Splinterlands
grinding for a quest
I'll look at the time and think -
"this is the last one"
as I aim down the sights
adjust the scope
test the wind
and tag my target I think -
"this is the last one"
upon flicking my bic
and watching the flame burn
lighting another cigarette
I hope for #willpower to say -
"this is the last one"
while taking bites of a loved flavor
maybe chocolate or ice cream
so hard to put down
I look at it and think -
"this is the last one"
I sift through straws
and know they break backs
feel my own wane
and under the pressure think -
"this is the last one"
one of these days
I'm sure it will happen
my limit will be reached
and I will finally agree when I say -
"this is the last one".
Well that’s a whole lot of last ones brother……
Just a few 😎
I contemplate that scenario occasionally. I just lit one lol. :D
Best of luck in that endeavor.
Thanks man, hard knock.
Resonated with me here. I always say "this is the last one" or "just one more" and turns into a million more and you're like, well, there goes tomorrow's hopes of feeling fresh when I wake up lol
LMAO thank god for hot water heaters.
Lovely prose EW. At least you are mindful of where you want to be, so a better chance of getting there when you're ready.
Well said man.
Hey now.. There's always room for one more! 😛
Some scenarios I suppose😁
Lol. I “last one’d” each episode of the new season of Ozark until there were no more. Guilty. Lol
Omg, right?! @blewitt I binge watched all of the new Ozark episodes last Friday night straight through Saturday, on the edge of my seat till Netflix forced "the last one" with the cliffhanger ending of season 4 episode 7. Dying to see how it all turns out! Ruth is on fire!🔥🔥🔥
She’s a rockstar. Love her.
Ha ha! You feel me then. I think Love Death and robots had me glued with no poddy breaks.
😂
If only I got a dollar for every time I said, "this is the last one."
I'd be rich if I only got a dime every time!😂 Then again, being a lot older than you I've said it more often!
We'd own the planet.
