Laughable Experience

"Listen my children and you shall hear" Of a laughable experience happened this year Dressed and ready everything near Load arms, walk out door without fear Put all parcels in back seat of car Glance around see left front door ajar Slam car door try to move but skirt caught Keys locked in car_there's front door afar Thinking swiftly what will really work Keys in car_front door ajar_trapped Look around not a soul to laugh with smirk Unfasten my skirt_dash for the door like one snapped Only in my sheer underwear and shirt Praying please, "Ghost of the wind don't move_ And touch that door gently blowing it closed" Running like the wind just made it my friend... (This did not happen to me.. I was reading about someone who this happened to so I can not take credit for the idea..) (First line is a quote from "Midnight Ride Of Paul Revere"...

Yeow! Not the 'Midnight Ride", but still a race with a happily breathless ending. This is an experience that might resemble those of others? (I look around sheepishly). Thank you for this smile, Sara! Wishing you the best, Mikki

Oh, this is so funny, Sara! I could just picture it happening. How embarrassing for the poor woman, but she handled it well. Glad it wasn't based on personal experience. You gave me a great laugh! Thanks, love, Carolyn
