AT THE BOULANGERIE

 

Do you know what happened at the Boulangerie?

  

Why, no ?

 

Oh. Well then it’s no concern of yours.

How can you say that, when I do not hear, and I cannot see…what ?

Pity really, what transpired…

What Transpired?

Why, the big ka-boom at the boulangerie…

Someone bombed the boulangerie?

Not exactly… not precisely…

How can that be?

It’s a function of who you talk to, and who is listening. Not to mention, who is missing…

I see.

Do you?

It’s as plain as the pain on your face. You’re a mess. Do you need this stress in your life?

You know, in baking terms, “need” and “Knead”  sound the same to the Ear, but the eyes see a difference.

Not always.

Meaning…?

A child in need is being mentally - kneaded by a baker, who’s a faker, and he foretook her, all along.

So this child set a bomb…?

What’s a few extra ingredients in the bread base?

Ah!

 Yes.

…but…seems a pity.

She was dough in his hands,

And strong hands they were…

‘Til they went ka-boom.
