"ONE WAY STREETS" ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now that I am older, I've discovered I've fallen in love with life -
No more rushing to get more behind than I was in the first place; no stalls or traffic jams on the streets of life, following the crowds on their paths to success, which normally leads to their destruction. I have driven that road; my bumper wiggles and the muffler farts when I get up to speed ... I'm tired of traveling those one way streets that lead to nowhere fast, so lock the door before you leave because I'm going back to bed.
Now that I am older, I've discovered I've fallen in love with life. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ (c) 2005, Karla Dorman.
I need to drink in your sage words like water, Karla. I have indeed fallen in love with life but seem to have less and less time to enjoy it! AND my particular bete noir is lateness - leaving home when I should actually BE somewhere... have to admit to being a bull in a china shop when it comes to road politics - but at least I am always polite and no-one would ever know that I am steamed up - OUT THE WAY BLOODY ROAD HOG!! gRRRR! (I aint got a little red car for nothin, you know...!) Wish I was jokin, but, alas, no... standintheKorner Kate xx
Your next book should be entitled, "I'm Older and Have Fallen in Love With Life What a great line - a first for me. You proved it, too, in your lines of truth and acceptance. Great write for a womoan of your age (Watch it Buster!) - Bill

Exactly how it should be, Karla, me sweet. As they say 'with age comes wisdom'... I like the way you weave your theme in and out, short line, long line, a bit like life itself, isn't it? There is some really creative expression here like the muffler farting. Good stuff! katy xox

A taste of life's experience which should be consumed and digested and appreciated. Good..
Brava! I give you permission to sleep on until you feel the need to write another gem like this one;-) We all need our rest lol! I like where your muse is taking you lately! Very creative!
karla, this is absolutely delightful! very good word choices, and the ending is too funny! (sounds like me at times, hunh?? LOL) very well done; brava on yet another winner!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, karen lynn. :D
The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
A naïve councilman and a down-on-her-luck single mom try to save their county’s last stand of forest from greedy developers and a dysfunctional government.
