Where Does the Time Go…? Woke up at eight, So I wouldn’t be late, Hit every light, Stopped at the bridge gate, The bridge was raised, A large ship in the channel, Seems that captain is driving, Like a cow coming in from being grazed… Never now will I make it, My time so short, maybe I can fake it, Still gonna take me some time, but only just a bit, Wish these people would get their butts in gear, I may not be able to fly, as I don’t have a Lear, But I certainly can move a bit faster, the road up ahead so clear… Why is it that every time I find myself in a hurry, I run into traffic making me upset and become blurry, Rufuz in the back, his hair flying all about, wish he was not so furry, I swear to all that’s holy that I could make it faster if I drove a surrey… Oh geez I finally did arrive, hope who it is I came to see is still alive, It has taken like forever to get here, normally a short thirty-minute drive, I am half an hour late, hard to believe I did make it at all; yes I did survive, The drivers out there surely made me late, made me quite irate, Wish just once I could be given or get a break… © ed – 7/23/04

Wise words.
Time is flying. Whether we live it to the fullest or just survive our days with pleasant and unpleasant moments. It only stands still for me whenever I am at the dentist !!!!!
Good one.

Someone once told me "Slow down...you'll get there quicker!"
But, like you Ed, I have a lead foot. Hee hee...and the
traffic in Green Bay, Wisconsin is probably almost as bad as
yours.

Thanks for the smile!
