The inner monologue

A gym shoe Isn't a running shoe Neither will fix everything anyway I'll try a Lebanese deli sandwich Ooh I just parallel parked perfectly There is hope

Thanks Vickey! I used to often share these random poems, I forgot what an unexpected joy randomness can be when shared. Thank you for smiling with me (and for me) - I think we all need a little more if that :)

It was a proper Lebanese wrap Jan and you get two extra deli items as a side. I had houmous and tabbouleh, with spicy potatoes and tomatoey green beans. I should be full for a week but managed 3 pancakes when I got home too :) I did surprise myself with what looked like skill but was just luck haha. If I'd have slightly misjudged I'd have driven off :)

What a creative write you have here. I really enjoyed reading a shorter write. "Great Job" There is always Hope. "Good Luck" if in a contest. Have a blessed day writing away.............

Oh yeah, Dilly? Did ya get one of those sunny days that makes everything wrong in the world suddenly seem brighter and possible, like one of those cars that parallel parks itself? Hope seems impossible at times, but never to be given up.

I do really love that deli :) but yes, a bit of sunshine and my none shoe related problems melted away. I've just got the hammock out and am now in the garden. I might write about that too lol

LOL. Like this one. Despite everything going against the odds there is hope. The last line is great.

Lol. The parallel parking spoke to me. I drive around till I find a parking lot. Thanks for a fun read.

I was cutting it fine Hilda (and also didn't want to pay 30p to park to get a sandwich). The odds were against me as it's a fairly busy road and the parked car in front had the driver sat in it (which can often make me drive off rather than have an audience). But, I was like a machine haha. It was a small space too. I enjoyed my sandwich :)
