I Didn’t Stay and Linger

Winter’s coming soon I’m not ready nor am I prepared.

I love the snow but okay, when driving in it I’m scared.

All the slippin and the slidin scares me half to death.

My heart starts pounding violently and I lose my breath.

After cleaning all the windshields, the mirrors & every other part.

And when I finally do get in the car, it decides it doesn’t want to start.

I’m not givin up, it’s not in my DNA, I’ll get it started, if it takes all day.

I don’t know the meaning of the word quit, it isn’t in my extensive resume.

FINALLY, she decided to start and I began puttin down the icy street.

Shivering and Skaken like a bowl of jello, right down to my icy feet.

Trying to be careful just going slow enough so I don’t slip and slide.

Until some old fool zoomed up my tail, and he was fit to be tide.

I stopped and I sat there for awhile just waving and smiling sweet.

That made him even angrier for we’re not even off our street.

I blew a kiss as he zoomed past me and I continued on my way.

He collided with a telephone pole, blaming me for his dreadful day.

I waved to him as I passed by; he just put up his middle finger.

Now that wasn’t a bit nice of him, so I didn’t stay and linger.

If I would have been a quitter, I would have quit right then and there.

But I just kept on puttin and a sputtin ‘cause I had an appointment for my hair.
