Self Preservation
"Edna, where's the bloody salt?" his irate indignation
Although the doctor stated: "Please consume with moderation"
She handed him the shaker, gave no voice to reservation
For wisdom speaks in silence and it's called self preservation

Very, very clever! Words to be remembered!
I like the idea of her not giving him the salt for his health and well being, then giving him the salt for her emotional health and well being.
Wow! Well written, but scary!
Elaine - that's what I meant by scary. It all depends on interpretation, but to have to be in that position in the first place...
I didn't think of it that way, but you're right. Oh the irony. Salt, the original (and the best) preservative is killing him, but saving her! Scary indeed!
Oh, you're on a roll with the word play on this prompt! Very clever! I can hear my parents in this one!
Elaine,
