Good Grief

You’re starving and craving a pizza. The topping you want is ground beef. But they've only got what you hate: pepperoni! Good grief! You cannot agree with your newest friend’s crazy belief. She screams at you, causing a big scene in public: Good grief! You went on a cruise. Now your group’s at a popular reef. Under water, you’re diving. The boat leaves without you! Good grief! You have to go meet with your workplace department’s new chief. Then you find out the guy is the neighbor that hates you. Good grief. You’re told that the wait for your doctor is sure to be brief. At last it’s your turn, but he’s called out for surgery. Good grief! There’s only one pill on the market that gives you relief. It’s the one your insurance won’t cover at all. Good grief! There’s trouble a plenty that robs you of time like a thief. However, be glad if the worst that you get is GOOD grief!

Nicely done on this one. I said good grief today when someone went thru our car last night and threw all the paper in the glove compartment on the floor. We do not lock the car so there was nothing to take. Just make a mess so thank goodness and good grief what are these people thinking.love phyl
