Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Pessimist Jar

My wife calls me a pessimist.

I said I did not believe that.

To prove to me, she did insist,

That while in our habitat,

Instead of a swear jar I keep

A jar for negativity

To use unless I am asleep.

Each negative thought that does be

In my head, I need to place in

The jar a dollar for such thought.

This experiment did begin.

It told my wife it was for naught.

Just done it a minute so far,

But still half empty is the jar!
