I feel the need for a long ride/drive…

Poem Artwork

Maybe out to Ohio just for one overnight,

Perhaps a trip to Kentucky might feel right,

I just feel the need to travel a short distance,

Gotta get out of this place I live, just something to do,

That offers to me the least bit of resistance…

 

After the job loss of the other day,

My feelings of depression want me to run away,

I don’t mean for a very long trip,

Just till I totally get back my stronger grip…

 

So we’ll see, then we will know,

I may just take a drive out to Pennsylvania Dutch country,

Like I said just for something different to do,

Might help me from feeling these feelings of being blue…

Yes, lately I have been feeling the same way, maybe roadtrips are part of a male's winter survival strategies.

Ah! A road Trip now that's kool
but why to those cold places
come on down where the sun shines
and skinny dip in the swamps
let the gators bite......
I am Back Pal
Be seeing more of me
new years resolution, read and write as I used to
feeling my oats
Peace brother

And don't forget some souvenirs, for both Mean Tall Woman and Me,
