Grinding of Metal Upon Metal

The grinding of metal upon metal Is such a sickening sound Like dollar bills flying out the window It's off for repairs you're bound Times you dread while driving a car Hope upon hope you avoid Physical contact with another vehicle Your day is totally destroyed Happens many times every single day In the age of this frantic pace It's bound to happen, this aggravation An age that we all must face Who knows where all this is leading Will we all just turn into mush From this totally ridiculous style of living We'll be nothing but bits of dust © Jack Ellison 2013

Thank you my dear Lucilla! It was my son's car... just a minor scrape but will probably cost the insurance company 2 or 3 thousand to repair! :( Hugs, Jack xox

I'm very sorry to hear about your son. Like him, I too cherish my vehicle (I worked hard for my baby). I would be equally devastated. But, the beauty in this, your son is ok. Audis can be replaced. Respect to you for this writing.

Dragon thinks you'll help. But now he's worried we're all dusting away... He knows I sweep up dust daily... and human are so fragile... so he went to the corner to cry... Thinking we're all dusting away to nothing... I tried to explain we're not like that. Then he found a piece of lent on my clothes and cried all over again... Poor baby Dragon!... Then Hubby showed Dragon his belly lint... Bad Hubby!... Had to offer Dragon a second breakfast to distract him. It Worked!... That's Dragon for you!
