Nette's Into the Hexaline Groove Contest ** May 7, 2025

Cruisin' down country lane Top down, no sign of rain Singin' with radio No place special to go Stop to pick a ripe pear Bear roars— I'm outta there!

lol LM, I was glad you enjoyed the ride. The contest host thought my inclusion of the bear was reason to N/A this one. I much prefer the comments from those who rode along with us. Thank you ever so much.

There were a few that were fun years ago. Mercedes with the top down... but with the birth of my first child, it was impractical to keep. Life changes our fortunes, but as long as we're happy in our place in it... that's what we hold on to. Thanks a lot, Daniel.

Rhyming is as second nature to me as it is to you. Thanks, Andrea.

Lin, cute poem and a great picture to boot. I'm sure many of us have been driving and day dreaming at the same time. It's a real pleasure to be in a position to relax! Hope the bear wasn't a stock market figure!!! Smiles!!

Love it, Lin. Haven’t looked into this contest cos I had no idea what ‘Hexaline groove’ meant. Like everyone else has said… the twist is a killer ;-)
