Roaring in frustration into the emotional void

Yet you plaster on your professional smile to make sure those around you don’t…

So now I can worry about the whole thing as I should have all along

Where be the trees?  I cannot see them because of this forest!”

Oy vey!  I should have known you would branch down that path.”

Okay, I see your timber, but don’t worry.  I’m not going to leaf you there.”

Don’t go farther.  My bark is worst than my bite and I am getting pretty hungry.”

So I shouldn’t tell you about how thicket’s getting around here?”
