Good thing you hadn't whipped past a 'no running' sign. You always come up with something brilliant, Andrea! I'm more of a slow poke turtle clocked by a 'change my mind' meter. Keep well and keep up with all your amazing writes. Mikki

Too cute. Been there and done that. I'll have to post one of my writer's block poem. Really liked this. It made me smile. God Bless, JB

Andrea, this is (IMHO) a great example of the Senryu. A humorous poke at ourselves.

Nice! Talk-to-text is my savior. Later I can untangle it all. :-)

God, Tom, you may have coined the next treat "oxymoronic" statement.....talk to text.....if they wanted to talk......they wouldn't text.
