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…. |

 (giggles in delight) Almost had me thinking of that scene in Rat Race where the ladies refuse to buy a squirrel and they ask for the interstate and she talks them into going through a dangerous chasm with signs saying "you should have bought a squiirel!"! LOL! Looks like it'll be a while before he finds the road, anyway, I love this, yay! (giggles in delight) We all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Figured as much. That's okay, though. Just wanted to see you smile through the glass. Think you did, too. Corinne |

Zin... glad it gave you a chuckle..this was also a true story...slightly embelished...but only SLIGHTLY.. my actual directions are all that was changed to protect the innocent.. the rest was a fact.. Cor... I can usually pull a poem out of the archives I keep on about anything... glad you got a chuckle... |

See Duncan..I do have a sense of humor.. (laughing) some situations are just too absurd to let pass...this was one of them. If he is a memebr, then I deny that this is anything but a figment of my imagination |
