Going To The Junkyard I’m going to the junkyard to buy myself a car there are things I’m taking with me a bottled water, a metal baseball bat, and anger in a jar I’ll take a sip of water stare that car straight in the eye open up the door, spread my anger on the seat then my bat and I will tell it good-bye all the hate and rage penned inside of me I have to let it go and this is the way I can do it without hurting anyone else you know I’ll reach right over, tenderly kiss that car on the lips turn around grab that bat place it firmly in my grips the next time I turn around drink the rest of that water in a gulp for what I’ve turned my back on is nothing but an oily pulp walk over to my other car open up it’s trunk place that bat inside in case later I find I’ve collected any more junk then get in my car wave and smile as I drive away I sure do feel better and a lot lighter today "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare |

Funny to imagine a tiny redhead beating up on a big steel car...but hey, it felt good just watching! Loved this. (Stop by 'The Hallway', if you would) |
