Impromptu

my car
breaks
broke
that is
the pads
wore from
wear where

in just
one day
on my way
to work driving
every five inches
i'd stomp the peddle
then release until another

five inches
slam to a
stop again
and start
stopping
not 
wanting

to work
but
to play

L o l. I have been lucky (or stubborn) work has always been play... Then again, a day off is always more fun.

Hi, Jeff... tremendous roll this one of broken car, that breaks the will ... Stop at each stop when   Do you want to stop and play? Enjoy life instead of working hard on the crazy road!? Road that will give in nothing more to spoil cushions .. What to do, stepping on the gas? ' stop every five inches? Solve it yourself my friend ... salute alkas

Thanks so much Alkas. Actually I am taking off work today. This poem is somewhat true; I'm having brake troubles, but my Cuban mechanic, Antonio, not Jesus... ah that was another poem... said he could squeeze me in Wednesday. Oops sorry for the ramble. Thanks always Alkas.

Sound like a lot of work just to get to work. Have a great day my friend.
