The Skeptics Kaddish W3 Prompt # 214

as a child
could relate to the cow
jumping over the moon
but was never comfortable
and a little confused with the
dish running away with the spoon
until this  dish ran away 
with the spoon when she was 19
and then it all made sense
next time
this dish is running away
with a white knight 




where she will sit on a cushion 
and sew a fine seam
and feed upon strawberries sugar and cream
