From a true story..I fear I was less than patient
and kind but this is how it happenned...

Last night while working real hard
Riding mower and sprucing the yard
A stranger  pulled in
and got out with a grin
Having all the looks of a card.

He waved and walked towards me
As I stopped quite reluctantly
And said with a squeak,
in a voice that was meek
He had no idea where he be

Now men are strange, as women well know
We always think we know where to go
Asking directions if lost, to be avoided at all cost
Or others may just think us too slow

He asked for a place I’d never been
And I could  not seem to get from him
Where he started on this trip,
Or where thought he’d made a slip
(His chances were looking grim)

then he asked to please use the phone
But all he got was a busy tone.
and asking  if he could pee
Out behind that big old tree
Cause” beer” he said ,”is  just on loan”

Now lying is nothing to start
And I don’t consider it my art
But my patience with him
Had started to thin
It was time for him to depart

I told him” take the next right,
And travel till he saw the sight,
Of a barn that they’d painted blue,
Then a left at the road past the slew
Would get him there tonight.

Lord Knows where he ended up….

Cpat Hair,
Anybody that can't hold his beer deserves what you did. LOL

For a minute, I thought this was going to be about YOU asking for directions and I was going to accuse you of being a woman and deceiving us all along.

You are too funny, maybe you had no heart, but maybe you saved yourself from being robbed or something.

Enjoyed the read!
