Air in my lungs, yet I use it to grumble.

smiles.. better to use it for laughing or friendly words…not always easy though i know… i was grumbling with my daughter just lately because of a small thing actually… had to apologize afterwards… that was air well used…smiles
This is the shortest one I have come upon so far! So very true. Better to appreciate with the air than to waste it by grumbling!
shortest!! i wouldnt be surprised if you win this Limbo!! and lovely too.. i just used my air for a chuckle!!
What a wast of sweet air.. and you certainly have provided the shortest yet..
Sharp and to the point ~ I would rather not grumble, smiles ~
ha. a bit of an oxymoron eh?
so much in life we take for granted.
Nice! 1 word…but true.
An ankle turning limbo and a rather perceptive bit of wisdom. I’ll remember this next time I open my mouth to moan.
the air in my lungs is usually saved for those who grumble… smiles. sharp write… there’s a lot in that line… plenty of people complain when they really should just be thankful (and quiet).
1 word poems like–Breast–Infant–Buick–Doberman—Beaver; all good; yup yours was the 10-word champ so far; nice work.
heh-heh…a grumpy yet concise grumble – does you good 😉
I dig this piece so much. Brilliant short poem my friend. 🙂
Short but not sweet… be happy. Just kidding – nice job with the brief.
Wonderful achievement and so much truth in your words!
Oh, we’ve all wasted our air grumbling…loved your precise, concise, excellent post!
Ah one wonders what you have to grumble about when the air is what is keeping you alive.
Yeah, I do too.
10 words that really make the reader think. Yes, we have much to be thankful for, so why do we waste our breath in whining?
We must breath to live, but what a waste we often make of it.
An asthmatic’s theme song:)
perfect take but there’re many possibilities with the air… 🙂
Don’t we all?!
