Chapstick (Answer to Lipstick) By Larry Chadwick Manly fingers Gripped tightly around A small black cylinder Clock watching Until the hour He no longer has to twist Time into business Once out the door He climbed into his mustang Turning the corner out of town Just outside the city limits He stops to put the top down Wishing he still had a ponytail Black locks past his shoulders A cap will have to do He pulls it down tight He grins at his reflection In the rearview mirror The black cylinder in hand With a twist he slicked His lips in clear color He floored the pedal spinning Into the street, headed into sundown Trysting the vespering wind His station tuned in perfectly His heart speeding to the beat Knowing the rhythm and it’s crescendo As the miles flew up behind him The more somatic he became To his reason for Chapstick Wondering at the new reflection That is in his mirror Another top down in scarlet red Credit for inspiration and more to rwood [This message has been edited by Larry C (edited 11-04-2001).] |

Cool write Larry. I can just picture this scene. That chapstick sure does come in handy eh? If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

~LAUGHING WILDLY~ You are too much!!! All slicked up and no where to go! That's okay follow me....that is if you can hang with the curves....The gas is on the right! And leave yourself alone while you drive~ Call Mamma and tell her we ain't comming home.  Sincerely, Regina |

Midnitesun, You got the picture. The order of travel really is irrelevant except that my mustang is a GT with a 5.0 litre set of ponies!  Tracey, And the way things are developing, I'm gonna need it! Regina, That was the easiest poem I ever wrote. But I think the Plagerism police are knocking on my door. Good thing I own a little white covertable mustang with a lot of ponies under the hood!  And there really used to be a ponytail that long! [This message has been edited by Larry C (edited 11-04-2001).] |

Robert, It's probably just wishful thinking.  Lady in White, I'm liking the sounds of this already! |
