Success at Last



A lady at a coffee shop was sobbing.
Another lady, a Good Samaritan, 
said gently: May I be of help, madam?”
 “Not really,” she said, “it’s really nothing.
My husband...an accident...this morning,
fatal, and finally.” “Oh, I am so sorry,” 
said the lady offering her sympathy
hoping she might lessen the lady’s  grief.
“Oh please, don’t be. My tears are a relief.
In fact, I’m overjoyed. For after years
of repeated failures and frustrated tears
I finally got the freakin’ car brakes to fail
as he must have pumped the breaks to no avail!
And I can only imagine his despair
not able to stop somewhere for repair.
And can’t you just picture his desperation,
his face awash in horror and perspiration;
giving up any hope (more so prayer) –
the other accident filling his underwear!
