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…. |

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! |
