The Corner of Jim

I parked my car on the corner of Jim, and
am sitting here patiently waiting for him..
For thirty-seven years I was his wife.
Some things never change in this life.
I'm generally early.
He's chronically late, so I play the game
of hurry up and wait..
I parked my car on the corner of Jim, sit
patiently waiting, again and again...

Ahhh!! Sad that you are constantly having to wait for him, but alas, that is the way it is sometimes. Thank you for sharing this one with us. Sara

Hi John, It's so very nice to hear from you and glad I was able to make you laugh. I still miss Rico's presence on poetry soup and although I didn't always agree with his perspectives, he kept me and so many of us laughing here. Have a blessed day.

HI Tom, I am very happy to see your visit and understand you are busy doing research or writing a book perhaps? My ex and I did balance each other out. Friends said we were like Gracie Allen and George Burns together. Too bad we never took it on the road. Have a blessed day.
