Madame C And The Cop Go To The Mall

Balladeer, thanks for the adorable poem about my driving and my eyesight...but this is the TRUE story, and thanks so much, Mysteria...for helping me with the picture.

When Madame C went out to shop
she got pulled over by a cop
it looked like no one was driving her car
a bright shiny pink convertable Jaguar

so he pulled alongside and couldn't beleive, a chipmunk was at the wheel
he made her stop and he asked her, "hey chip, now what's the deal"?
she said "I must get to the mall, where my new eyeglasses await
and if I don't get em soon, I will turn into housecat bait"

I need sharp vision to see that cat
or I'll be his dinner and he'll get fat
so the cop said "Ms.Chipmunk, with such bad eyes
its not such a good idea to drive"

so she said "Mr.Cop, will you help me please?
afterall I'm a chipmunk with a pedigree
please get in and give me a ride
and my remarks will become less snide"

so the cop and the chipmunk went to the mall
where they looked like the oddest couple of all

Ahhh, that was just so darn cute. I bet you could sweet talk any policeman into taking you to a mall, I know if I wanted to get there bad enough I would!

You look rather cute behind the wheel of that car, Mrs. Chipmunk but maybe you should get yourself a

for these moments where you can't see to drive? Just a safety thought. LMBO

Lyra! So good to see you having some fun and feeling a bit better! I think it's now time for the Little Old Lady from Pasadena to get inside the car with you ... who knows where THAT sort of collaboration could lead!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Thanks so much, Sue...this was inspired by Balladeer's poem about my driving with poor eyesight.
I just went to the eye doctor last week and found out that I was both nearsighted AND farsighted....and they don't cancel each other out!

My eyes are just getting old!

Can you imagine a chipmunk wearing glasses...well, I guess there is one and her picture is right next to this poem....but even worse, a chipmunk driving a car!

Ha Ha Ha, Sharon....a chipmunk on a motorcycle....

a chipmunk with poor eyesight on a motorcycle.....FOR SAFETY reasons!!!!!!!

Thanks for your help and for your cute reply.

The secret is....I had to buy lunch for that cop....I'm glad he was a vegetarian, at least that made me feel safer!

But the people at the optician's really got a kick out of it!

Thanks Karilea...from the little old chipmunk from Pasadena!

When I bought my black Mazda 626, I really wanted a Miata...but I didn't buy it because it has no back seat and I have grandkids.

but my kids were teasing me and calling me "the little old lady from Pasadena" and telling me how cops always pull little red sports cars over. I was even thinking of getting a license plate which read "Go Granny", but it had too many letters...and would have to read Go Grnny, so now I have one which reads CHIPMNK.

Thanks Noah...I think its the squirrels who steal the Clusters cereal...but I can imagine
a hungry chipmunk doing it also.

I know that chipmunks have been known to get into people's houses. A friend of mine's cat broought one home and it ended up in her dryer....poor thing!

Thanks so much, Nancy...I'm glad you enjoyed the little poem...it was an answer to the one Balladeer wrote yesterday...which was much better and much longer.....

No one can compete with the great Balladeer!
I'm flattered that he wrote a poem about me.

Sharon (Mysteria) helped me with the pic.

but I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
to get it back to good

Lyra my dearest friend, darling heart this is utterly utterly brilliant, you always manage to give me the best smiles ever. I love this and my smile is huge right now. It’s so wonderful to see your charm and your style beaming through you always always were the best at making me smile.

I love this utterly utterly, and I love you too, take care of yourself darling girl.

Thanks so much, Michael for the reply and for your wonderful poem in which you immortalized me.

May God bless and keep you.....far away from whatever roads I.m driving on!!!

and also...thanks for the blessing. If I manage to go to Florida in September, I will make sure that I will find out where you are going to drive, and I will drive on the same street at the same time.....
but...
I will have my new glasses by then....

I am also an excellent driver, I have no had no traffic tickets for the past 6 yrs except for the accident I had because my front driver's side tire blew out causing me to swerve into the oncoming lane and hit my neighbor....but that wasn't my fault.

Strange how the mind works, as I was at the mall yesterday and this poem came to mind for some reason, and I started laughing out loud. I am sure most people thought I was crazy, but had to thank Sharon/Lyra for the memory and smile.

I've thought about this poem often and the smiles it gave to her and my poem that caused her to write it. Meeting her and hearing her laugh about it shortly before her death made it one of the most self-satisfying poems I'd ever written and it will always be special to me....thanks, Sharon
