Sitting here in my recliner
sipping on a hurricane, dreaming of sun and sand.
waiting on my flight to some port of call for an ocean voyage...did seem like an awfully long time though...
people board....planes leave.
And I'm still sipping and waiting.
Then a lovely lady with some wings
on her uniform, sweetly said to me,
"Sir to where are you bound?"
"I'm off to Miami for a cruise...I beamed"
With another sweet smile, she said "Can I see your boarding pass?"
"Of course," I said, smiling back at this lovely lass.
"Sir, I'm afraid you have the right gate, but the wrong concourse, your flight left thirty minutes ago."
With just a bit of panic I said,
"Can I get a flight to Miami in time to board the ship?"
She got on her radio, the answer came back, she said "No way, Jose...
However, we can transfer your ticket, for a few extra FFP's and a couple bucks for a week in Denver, it's lovely this time of year."
Uh huh...20 below zero.
"No thanks," I said, "I'll just cash in and wait for the next cruise."
Darn it...I always knew when my ship came in...I'd still be at the airport...
Ah, I loved this write...I always seem to miss the boat...and Gilda Radner loved Saturday Night Live...nobody quite like that bunch, Cevy Chase, Dan A, John B. and who could ever forget...Rosanna Rosanna Danna...what a show, what a write enjoyed this much!
Blessings,
Joyce B.
Lol. Humourous, Walt! But it had made me think about life - in general - how we always miss out on the little treasures and blessings life has to offer, simply because we are too occupied. Few lucky one, who realize their mistake before it's too late, cash in and take the next boat. Just gotta love this!
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.
