#coddle — Public Fediverse posts

It was good while it lasted, #America.

It’s over. The transformation is complete. The entire #country is now just a great ol’ big #Alabama – a place where #laws and #rules are designed to #comfort the #comfortable, #placate the #patriarchy and #coddle the #Republicanparty.

#coddle

*Less Than Cuddly**

When your head feels stuffed
With a skyfall of cotton wool
And you've no one
To comfort & #coddle you
Well then, one in a mug
Would have to do
It won't be quite the same
That much I know is true
But what else can be done
When you're feeling blue
And the cat's ignoring you

Have you heard of "Kill them with #Kindness?" Georgia asked from the #Potting #Bench.

Unsure what was coming next, Ava nodded.

"Well, this big ol' #Jade #Plant almost #Drowned because Missy watered it every day when Jane was sick. Now I get to do CPR to try & save it.
It's like I always say: If you're going to #CODDLE something, make sure you know what you're doing first. No sense missing the mark."

Georgia had a plant #Analogy for every situation.
It got old.

Ann scored some cheap steak cuts that were about to expire. But when she pulled out her benefits card to pay, the cashier went on a rant about how outrageous it was to #coddle the poor with such luxury. The other shoppers glared as if Ann was the one holding up the line.

A badly behaved
and over-coddled toddler
has ruined my eggs.

"Where is it?" Veronica asked.
"What?" Sophie said.
"The other cup! I can see one, but where's the other?"
"I don't know."
"Well, what did you do with it?" Veronica snapped. "You didn't break it, did you?"
"No! No, I didn't. I don't know where it is!"
"Are you implying I lost it?" Veronica snarled.
"I'm sorry." Sophie began to cry.
"Don't expect me to #coddle you every time you cry. You need to take responsibility!"
"But I didn't do anything!" Sophie wailed.

Molly was tasked to #coddle him
To protect his ego which was quick to crumble
She catered to his every whim
As the man-baby would stumble
And throw tantrums

Diaper changes were always needed
A strict timetable for indulging
Him, to stop his convulsing
When reality needed to be heeded
And he couldn't defeat it

This did ultimately lead
to Molly’s mind overheating
He frayed away her creed
Left her boiling with his bleating
To the point where even Molly
could Mollycoddle, no more

It wasn't a doddle
