London Bridge: Here I Come - Or Not Hah

California, California, oh pretty, sunny California Well, farewell for now till I leave far too sunny Arizona Boredom kingdom overruled me substantially, So I talked my sister's ears off automatically Bloodstream tainted with filth of what-I’ve-done Forgiveness within is on the run in deserty nature fun Beyond the highway in the vehicle-made shade and eager-fervor sun Here I come, family and fun and/or work to be done, I call shot-gun and won! I’m good, I’m good, good grief – are you? For real??? I knew you needed relief from the brief-grief you feel No biggie much when stress and anxiety comes our merry way Because all night and day shall be as bright as marvelous May My mind is the opposite of noisy, annoying traffic surprisingly Chatting back and forth with my super spectacular sister in her cocoa-colored car regretlessly Now, I am in the future in Arizona thankfully!!!! Finally here with family! I said “London Bridge, here I go!” and arrived in Lake Havasu, instead, in glee.. Boy, what a long, but OK roadtrip... (naw) Now, Where’s a lake of beautiful blue (as we fuss due to the heat) Where I can take a refreshing dip? (yeah!) Oh! It is next to us, what a treat (for my sake and ours too, whoohoo!) No worries, we are fine, don't trip! (hah)

Now, you got me thinking of this other London Bridge. I must be brave in the heat of Arizona, since Global Warming seems to have arrived. Yes, it does have the feel of a happy song (Yay for AC!)

When the lake comes into view, then you cool off and shake off the trip. :)

This almost reads like a song- maybe I should sing along. :) Or not. Lol. I like the way your thoughts flow and where they go, or not go. Welcome to Arizona once again. I have been there before, and may go again one day. :) Who knows. This is such a fun write. ~ Brandy

:) Sing my song/verse whenever you want! Thanks, Arizona is exciting and of course, super hot, but nice AC here (yay). You should come and visit Lake Havasu City in Arizona - it is well-known for the London Bridge and it is cool! -JWE

Of course you are going to have to continue on your travels to see the London bridge in situ on the Thames - could fly over and meet you for a cuppa lol. Love the poem David and the wit about your lovely laura. Really loved this couplet "I’m good, I’m good, good grief – are you? For real??? I knew you needed relief from the brief-grief you feel" :-) keep on writing!:-) hugs Jan xx
