my coffee has no clutch I cannot get in gear it seems I’m only able to idle sitting here it revs up my motor but when I try to go I can’t get out of neutral just why I do not know I cannot find a pedal for other than the brake I step upon the throttle a very big mistake for everyone is looking at the roar beyond the wheel is this an awful nightmare or could it all be real? you say I’ve automatic for clutch I have no need I only need to look on the column there and read R is for reverse D is for drive I only need to change gears and I will feel alive but what is one, what is two and three there to the right? I only have to switch gears and I can go all night? oh, no, you were kidding all night it just can’t be for I sat there at idle until twas half past three and now to go the distance I need to make a stop for the fuel is at empty oh, no, the power’s dropped! oh, my, this doesn’t meet the challenge this coffee with no clutch it seems to go forever with the very slightest touch eight lines have been exceeded a clutch it did not take it seems that what I needed was an outright coffee brake ©August 13, 2002 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

hmm, doreen, it seems to lose the reason for the 1st line in the last stanza if the 2nd to last stanza were included, maybe the meaning would come through still considering Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
