Cabin Fever

acrostic

R   Rumbling rafters! cabin fever has struck.
O   Overnight, I decided I would go
A   across state in my trusty Tempo truck 
D   driving through the night and driving solo.

T   Twenty miles down the road, I hit a tree.
R   Reaching for my one companion, cell phone,  
I    I called up my brother, please come get me.
P   Pshaw! he said, No bother, I'll get you home.

S   Snow had started to pepper down again,
I    I start to worry, my, what lousy luck!
G   Good bro pulled up, not once did he complain;
H   he drove back up today to tow my truck.

Reason A. Poteet , congratulations on your placement on my “When Older Siblings or Younger Step” contest. So many a times my husband came to the help of my sons never complaining of the outcome of the vehicle, but just happy to get them home safe back in our lives.

Thank you Eve, for such a nice comment and for the placement in your contest...sounds like my German background who once a thing had happened, it was not mentioned in a negative way, just a solution sought. Have a great day.

A true story of sorts, he came and got me in the strangest of places when I would come home from college and would always take care of my heating problems in apts where I lived and I returned the favor by babysitting my nieces and nephew often. It made for a great family spirit. Thank you, Kim, for the honor of a placement in your waltz contest.
