Dave Wooley is our host today at http://www.ethicalela.com for the 27th day of April, where he inspires us to write poems of interruptions. You can read his full prompt here, but I had a message for Dave this morning as I started to thank him for hosting us today:
Dave, what a prompt
~an apt and timely prompt~
with all the distractions in our world today
it’s a blustery morning, Pooh ~
windier than I’d thought
but no weather warnings and
I know because I checked
to see what shoes to wear
because if it’s cold my feet have
to be covered
and there are certain things I
can only wear with covered toes
and I’m worried, so worried
about that car under the last tree
we have because they cut all the rest down
for telephone poles
telephone poles!!! who even uses
telephone poles anymore??
well, it shocked me, I’ll tell you
but apparently our loblollies made the cut
for straight trees when they did
the tree assessment like some sort of
sorting hat for which fate the pines follow
speaking of Harry Potter, I need
to throw out the Butterbeer coffee creamer
I think it went bad
but none of my son’s friends got sick
on the way to Talladega
so maybe it’s good, I don’t know
but I do need to grocery shop
and did you see that kid???
when he won?
Carson Hocevar all the way
and I think it was okay with my son
that Number 9 came in only fourth if
a 23-year old won his first race
….AT TALLADEGA….
because as Ricky Bobby says
if you ain’t first, you’re last
and so Carson turned it up
on that last lap and Chase Elliott
can be first another time
…oops, time…..gotta go to work
thanks for hosting today, Dave!
