My Antics

There I was an eight year old girl
On an adventurous whirl 
We had a thing for hanging
I ended up dangling
With a driver that wanted to hurl

these things happen when dramas befall 
I got stuck between the van and the wall
out cold I was lying
driver almost crying 
vans were forbidden, for fear of a sprawl



*Naughty me, ended up unconscious 
from hanging onto the back of our neighbors’ van,
poor man needed shock treatment, luckily
I lived to tell the tale lol *

Hick! good night out? Hick. Nice one Wilma. I got so drunk once, my brother was driving me home and I had my head out the window throwing up. People thought it was a dog with it's tongue hanging out until they saw me close up

It's good you can laugh about it now, Wilma, but it does seem pretty dangerous. I was captivated, wondering what would happen to you. Diane

Hello! Vans? VANS! You can't see over them. You can't see around them. They think they own the road, are invulnerable. Hope you are not a van-driver, Wilma. If you are, after such a near fatal accident, I suggest you be on the lookout for crazy van-drivers. Like your poem mucho. Love, Dave
