A slippery slope?

Sometimes when you stand along the edge of the pond for too long the ground gets slippery.

Then you repeatedly ask someone to help you build a deck or lay a sidewalk to help things not be so slippery.

When the local tour boat goes by and makes some waves the pond edge gets even more slippery because of the waves that were made.

Sometimes even though you have tried to not fall in the pond it becomes too difficult to hold on. Sometimes it looks so tempting to just slide under the water with the rest.

When everyone is in the water and the pond edge is empty the pond owners sometimes wonder why... But more often they just take down the sign and wait for others to come watch the swans play... But the slope is still slippery.

So when the pond becomes busy again and the tour boat goes by to make waves the same thing will happen.

Some day maybe the pond owner will listen when someone asks for a deck or a sidewalk. But maybe not...

I know this may not make sense to some of you but it will make sense to a few of my readers and I think it can be taken by all as a good life lesson.

Learn to compromise and change with the times or soon you will only have swans in the pond and no boats or people watching the swans from the shore.
