Be Specific

I asked the old fruit tree out back
To bare something sweet for a snack
Went back the next day
His root was displayed
I chopped him down quick in one whack

I can tell you, I Was a 3 million mile safe driver in 25 years on the road. I still to this day dream about driving a truck every night. I haven't driven since 2009. It just won't go away. I wouldn't go back on the road for ANY amount of money. Peace:):)
