i want to stay home and write poetry words, like little soldiers, marching across the page, but instead, my car is stuck in the driveway again work is looming and I am late again poetry will have to wait, words will have to wait while I dig and spin and cuss -- Alison |

Exercise before Breakfast ... you see, dear Alison, there is always also the positive aspect!  Loved this much and can relate ... to being late and work looming and postponed time for the favorite activity! Sigh ... You expressed this unforeseen obstacle with great intensity. Love and hugs, dear Poetess. Margherita |

Bobby & Margherita, Thank you both so much. I did it! All by myself! Lots of digging, lots of tires spinning, little cussing (was saving my breath) and a wild ride out to the end of the driveway (all dogs were kept in the house so they could not "help" me). I love accomplishing things by myself! Love, Alison |

Oh, I can relate to this, Alison. When I was a kid I watched my Dad cuss his way out of this situation quite a few times. Hang on there, spring is coming (we won't mention that that it will be followed by winter again) Ida |

Oh I know that feeling. Snowing like crazy here again right now. If you have an old piece of wall to wall carpet then cut a piece out of it approx 18 inches wide and 4 to 5 feet long. Put the jute back down against the snow with the pile up toward the tires. Stick it in under the leading edge of the tires that are powered and it will pull you right out of the hole. No longer stuck. You might have to do it twice but it will work. Eric |

I can sympathize with the winter imagery, I've been there. However, this poem seems to speak of something deeper. Perhaps the inability of people to find self-fulfillment because of the demand to fulfill every other aspect of our lives. We have to work hard, earn money, pay bills, so someone else can be fulfilled. We want our lives to be our own, but way too often they are not. |

Boy do I know how this feels. I can't begin to count how many times I have felt this way. |

"Whine before Breakfast" ~ cute title from a cutie pie! Just like a true poet, you can turn something ordinary into something extraordinary! ~ with the click of your pen! Gosh, I hearys, girlfriend! Been there! Done that! ~ far too many times than I care to recollect!  Love your "Rocky" moment (in your reply) when you managed to get out of that 'slippery situation' all by your lonesome!  Loveya! Linda  |

actually, it depends on what ya order.  Now...a nice merlot blends nicely with a spinach omelet. But a Burgundy? Now that's just mean. Seriously. (That's the thing.) A chardonnay? Order fried eggs, and make that, easy over toast. But Benedict remains the trick-- order champagne--open it-- steam the shells of difficult and chew the salty sand witches and press the French bread into cubes of salty flats and demi-rubes as ordinary waves of June threaten to be come July.... |

My kind, understanding, poetic friends - Thank you for letting me whine at you and for laughing with me. Linda, I am playing the Rocky music next time this happens (and, believe me, it will happen again). Karen, your reply cracked me up - I have a breakfast w(h)ine list now. Juju, you picked right up on that title - guess you would have liked to join me in a morning toast? You are a special group of people and, again, I thank you. With love, Alison |

Hey all, Thank you for riding along with me on this one. D, rub it in. You know I like it. RDB, thanks darlin'. I have been missin' you. Suthern, I do so love your responses. I swear I hear you laugh. Lindsay, you are so right. It was a fun ride of accomplishment. Mysteria, I just am trying to share. It's a novel concept to me that I am working on. Mark, they are demanding little things, those marching words. Steaven, thank you. It's always more fun to share a good whine with friends. Love to all, A |
