Two-thirty in the morning I started on my way I could have used a little sleep but I made it through okay Six hours of driving two quick stops for gas both my legs were very numb not to mention my *** Seventy-five miles per hour cruising on interstate ten passing all the truckers never to see any of them again Five-thirty in the morning the sun was starting to rise six-fifteen, the sun was up and shining in my eyes Eight-thirty in the morning nine-thirty Phoenix time and hey I'm sorry to say this isn't the end of the rhyme I showed up in their driveway they seemed glad that I was there immediately I tacked up Sassy their seventeen hand mare I then tacked up Chance he's the one they wanted me to ride my only concern now is that Im not under or over qualified I drove over to my friends house who I hadn't seen in years when I walked up I surprised them to the point they were in tears We talked about our memories way into the night they were going out to dinner and invited me for a bite Although I didn't eat a thing we had a darn good time and if you're sick of reading this, Im sorry but it's still not the end of the rhyme I finally left my friend's house a quarter after four the tears started pouring out as I walked out their door I decided not to stay in Phoenix so these people and I are gonna keep in touch if they want me for the job, I'll go back cause I want this job so much Four-thirty in the evening I headed back for home nine-thirty Cali time I was back and I've finally finished this poem (Now I get to wait to find out if they want me for the job or not, so until then, ya'll get to put up with me some more *evil laugh*) Just be glad I'm not your child! *evil grin* |

Well I sure keep my fingers crossed and wish good luck Don't forget your hockey puck The fishing rod there for the bass Then at least you sit a bit longer on your ...  Well done I guess I can get used to having you around for a bit longer The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

I hope ya get the job, And ya make a zillion bucks, But next time make it interesting, "Flash" the guys in their trucks. Flash a little leg, Or a breast or two, Then you'll have some company, Cuz they'll surely follow you. |
