Nature Calls

Nature calls and I don't mean coyotes Got a panicky feeling down to my toe-sies Till the next rest stop to hold it I'll try Got everything crossed including my eyes Don't ask me questions, can't answer right now Really must concentrate, there's sweat on my brow Please dear wifey can you drive a little faster Don't mean to bug you but it'll avoid a disaster Stop! Stop! There's construction up ahead Maybe they'll allow me to use their shed Look at those guys they're laughing at me Can no longer wait, going behind this tree Ahhhhh! Finally at last, I'm at heaven's door Next time I'll make sure I go pee-pee before ©Jack Ellison 2012

I think we've all been there at least once. Love how you can put these funny scenarios into fun rhyming words. Always, Laura

Brings back lots of memories. I was worse than the kids. I took them to drive thru the Christmas lights and scenes. One year there was a 2-3 hour wait to see them. The kids were jumping out of the cars and no one cared(They were in the same boat). But I was miserable! I'll remember that year for all the wrong reasons... My son doesn't remember that year at all! LOL

"I guess the next time you'd be prepared" You would think but sometimes on long trips, the rest stops SEEM like 50 miles in between! LOL
