Sunday Muse -- Two loves at first sight

 A Long Ride; 

and short night 

I was tooling along 

With my Mustang top down 

Came up on Chrysler old 

Puddling along so slow 

Looking down to my left 

"No Passing" from the sign  

That evening at the ball 

Minding my own business 

Came upon chick so nice 

Smiled at me, I'd been had 

Wasn't looking for her 

Nor for anyone else 

The car pulled in for gas 

Mustang needed some too 

Chrysler wasn't so bad 

Looked better at twelve feet 

Hadn't looked for a car

Nor for anything else 

Met again at the drinks 

Iced lemon tea was had  

Talked the rest of the night 

We danced a little too 

"See you tomorrow's" said, 

little Mustang'd away 

The Chrysler was there when 

I got to my motel 

Six hundred bucks she's yours 

Deal was made, called my friend 

She was ready to ride 

The faithful Mustang cried

Weekly Scribblings - What would it be?

        

Changeout 

Did you ever wish you could trade bodies

For bigger body parts or for smaller ones 

Nobody wants ours the old wrinkled ones 

Or other blemished or disabled ones 

So we should be happy with what we've got 

"It's the only place we have to live in"** 

But just think of the pleasure we could have 

Like driving of a new car--love that smell 

So that's what we have, thinking and wishing 

"It's the only place we have to live in"

**Note: words of  Jim Rohn who "was an American  entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker . . . "
