Hark, there is a creature on the hood of my car with me he has now ridden really quite far. He turns to me and looks with great fright, "How did I get into this perilous plight?" Thy imperiled existence does cause me compassion for I have time to stop and your safety to fashion. But lo, this is not the American way to do kind deeds at the dawn of the day. So lay low my friend and do not scurry and cling to my windshield, be not in a hurry. For it the fortunes of nature are on our side we both arrive safely still contained in our hide. Who-o-o-a, for now thou hast taken to flight for a moment in the sunlight what a marvelous sight. With thy hands and thy feet like an eagle wide spread looking for a place to land, and yet not be dead. Ah, they say that flight is good for one's life to be free of earth sailing beyond all our strife. For you in flight quite free and fancy and simple thou are now on you truck but a small, little dimple. ------------------ ~*~ Time erases and rewrites all the lines.

Echo this was great. What a neat story! I'm not used to lizards though and I probably would have freaked out. Poor little guy met his doom! |

Ha! Echo, I loved this! It has always fascinated me how critters can hang on for so long! I saw the title and knew I'd love this! I like to watch him hang on for dear life!! hehehe I like to see their cheeks flapping in the wind! LOL Their knuckles white, and the look of fright in their little beaty eyes!  That's what they get for crawling across my car ! And for not being smart enough to JUMP off before I TAKE off ! hehehehehehe ------------------ I beckon you to come...I lure you with my tongue... - poet FemmeFatale |

Echo...great poem. I liked the added idea that its not the American way to take a few minutes out of our precious day to help someone in need out. But...the poor little lizard....  ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |

Amy...Yeah I know, I felt bad, I made up for it though Nan...Glad at least one of the two made it ok. The one on my car made it onto a semi coming the other way, poor thing. I still feel bad about that! ------------------ ~*~ Time erases and rewrites all the lines. What remains is the poetry! ~*~ |

Can't say I've ever experienced such a thing, but I do think it'd probably be hillarious..thanks for the laugh!  ------------------ *Krista Knutson* I walk with the multitude, yet alone am I in their midst. -- Daniel L. Miller |
