Race Track

Ok, I used to have a bit of a lead foot long ago When I got my share of speeding tickets Maybe I should have been a race car driver, I don’t know I never ended up in the thickets But, maybe it’s best I’m a writer today I can speed with my words all I want to On roads of sentences, I find my way While reaching for the sky so blue I have since learned to drive on slow I’ve learned from mistakes, life is not a car show Heidi Sands 9/22/20

Hello Heidi … yes, a lead foot can become very costly. A verse that all drivers should heed - thank you Heidi - Lindsay

Ah, the leadfoot days, wild and free - and young enough to believe that what could go wrong wouldn't happen. That you for the memory of those days!

Most women I know have a lead foot. lol I am pretty sure everyone goes through that phase. Once they figure out how expensive it is they usually slow down. Otherwise floor it on the sentences. A fun one, Heidi.
