A State of Disarray

0 posted 2008-07-22 10:52 PM

Nothing is more painful
Than having to really go
When miles extend to nowhere
The ground immersed in snow

When the wind-she is a blowing
You forgot to stop for gas
Mother nature is a calling
You've got to go...and fast

No trees align the highway...
Oh, perhaps behind that sign
That fence post looks inviting
Some pines would be divine

No tissue in the glove box
Towels gone beneath the seat
Kids used up all the napkins
This will be no easy feat

Of course! Here comes a convoy
I see sirens in my mirror
And there I see before me
A jack-knifed trucker missed a deer

So, I put it into four-wheel
And shot across the plains
Then rolled a great big snowball
Passers-by think me insane

In the center carved a hammock
Two arms complete the chair
A tall back would keep me hopeful
From any awkward stare

I sat upon my snow throne
So, no one could really see
Oh what's a girl to do
When she really must go pee

My credit's not Bad...I'm just protecting myself from identity theft!

I can't help but think if you had time to do all that carving, you had time to get to the next gas station. Once my sister and I were eyeing passing tank farms speculatively. There was no mesquite more than two feet high and you could see three miles in all directions. Not the place to have a need. Oh, the fun of cross-country trips!

I really enjoyed this poem, it made me chuckle.

I loved the humor of this. Those who have never visited the northern states don't appreciate the pure, unadulterated beauty of a single tree!

Thank you for the smiles, I think many can relate, because that kind of urgency can't wait!

A very nice fun read.

Love,

Well bless your soul! That was a hoot 'n a half! I love your self-effacing humor!

I am sure there are many readers who will be able to relate to your dire situation! ~ I know I do!

So good to be reading you again! ~ and I think it is marvelous that you brought your "twisted" son Brice, aboard!

With love and laughs,
Linda
