Little Green Mini-Vans, They're everywhere you go! Oh Lord, another child on board, Another decaf Cup-of-Joe. Another Jennifer, or Melissa, Angela, Wendy, Christine. Is it just me or could it be All mini-vans are green? In teal or hunter, in forest or jade, Come join the fun, come choose a shade! Got the cellphone & garage door clicker, Now pick a silly bumper sticker! A white-flight suburbanite, Feeling not-so-young I bet! Where's my Pink Cadillac, And my Little Red Corvette? Another Michael, or Christopher, William, Jeffery or Scott. Safety seat & air bags complete, Sure I'm glad for all I got! But I've become so picket fence... I even listen to Celine. Like I'm COOL or something In my mini-van of Green! |

...and now many years have passed the kids grown and gone so fast looking out now at my green van I suddenly feel less of a man jumping in the mini I tear right out with gleaming eyes and a loud shout It had to be now no time could be riper This new gal beside me sure likes this viper Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil.

Toddles, great poem, great visuals. I once owned a green, mini, mini van... two cylinders... seven kids... the police used to laugh when they were checking for speeders.  Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Tempting, let me see if I can get the Green Mini-van running, if it'll make it that far! "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind!"...Dr. Seuss Toddles123@aol.com |
