A broken garage-door spring

From the garage came a clatter
So I ran to see what was the matter
The door spring lay on the floor
Broken, it could pull its weight no more
As I stood above it in wonder
At what had stolen its thunder
Inside me rose this fear
That I might be looking in a mirror.

Uh... you mean the juicy stuff about garage door springs, or the juicy stuff that gets deleted as I come to my senses? :)

1) I've said on more than one occasion, you're a poet.

2) But I think your spring might have sprung ;).

3) Glad you were able to celebrate your anniversary prior to that happening (and belated wishes to you and your "lovely lady Jane" :) ).

Thanks Robin. Yes, my spring has sprung, indeed.

Dan-

The latter. Which you're going to need to get up high enough to fix your garage spring [sic].

FYI - the actual garage door spring has been replaced. As well as the supports and everything else on that side. I tell ya, when one of those suckers snaps... LOOK OUT!
