Can I borrow your pen?

Say again?

Don’t forget where and when

However, could I forget

with you bugging me about it

~

Driving to a meeting

on this lovely Thursday morning!

Music blaring, “You don’t need an invitation”

we heard from two of the older generation

~

Rough around the edges they

are reminding me of Grandpa who used to say

“I’m always helping those old folks”

I’m sure the two upfront will say that about me and not in-jokes

~

Hi Ed — Good morning!

Hi Dear — Were you snoring?

Looks all clear over here

One more bad month — all week nice I hear

Enjoy the week cause it will cool down

Well that can cause a frown

~

What about that copter-plane accident?

Terrible, horrible incident!

Lots of life lost

many figure skaters lost their life

was a big cost

a plane and helicopter went down, and so much strife

You never know when your time is over

Time to enjoy and smell the clover.

~

Are we almost there?

Almost where?

You know

I don’t think so

Not sure what you are talking about

You make me want to shout.

Nevermind

kiss my behind.

What sass?

I could have said ass!
