My Sister -- a Poem for Her -- for a dVerse Prosetics and Friday Writings

    Little Sister, 

When you are old, well pretty old 
old enough to drive like a Senior 
one who should be off the road, 
I'll get you a dog like a lady I knew  

I hear now that you don't drive far 
and are staying off the major roads 
like highways that run though town 
And freeways too, those can kill you  

Driving for me is still a challenge 
challenge to lead the traffic, up front 
you might try my secret, hide keys 
car keys, where they won't be found  

No disaster getting lost, the dog can help 
Follow him, he can take you home 

Note:  This isn't true, neither of us has reached this stage although we are both elderly. Many our age have.  Oh yes, there isn't a dog either.  You can read your fill about her on my other blog (click it).
