There was a little man, an insignificant man.
He lived in a plain house
Painted in fairy floss.
Afflicted with a life curse
Married to a woman,
Who repeated daily her litany
Clean this, polish that,
Shift this, move that
On and on it went.
He’d start one job finding ten more accumulating.
He sympathized with Sisyphus.
His life was a never ending burden.
It came as a surprise to many
When he dusted a last time
Walked away
Leaving his tormentor in wonder
Defied convention
Moved on,
Finished an old life
Found himself and love again.

Bravo, Michael–I love your take on this prompt (I was starting to fret…but it ended as it should, in my experience).
Thank you Stella. Lovely you could stop by.
I don’t miss many 🙂
I know I do notice such things.

Great story Michael. Love the fairy tale feel to the poor man’s life of woe. And the fairy tale ending too – he found his princess, then? A great spin on the Cinderella story too. Lovely work
Thank you Lynn as always I appreciate you stopping by.

Oh, this reads like an alternative fairy tale – nicely done!
