Things That Confuse Me

Earlier, driving with my Sax playing bandmate, coming home from rehearsal at 
an average speed of 80+ I somehow lost most of the poetry thoughts I had 
earlier in the day...just these few did I retain: We passed a sign marked--> Civic 
Center, and I wondered why there is a hospital clinic for Hondas.  And I brought a 
jug of "Gator Aid"...I had always wondered why someone would want to help an 
alligator in trouble?--Was this their medicine?  Will I break out in scales, and an 
insatiable appetite for the bathtub??   I got several comments on my just posted 
poem, "Jack and Jill"- seems I "cracked up" a load of people with such a short 
piece.  Everyone knows what mayhem I've made out the most popular nursery 
rhyms lately...poor kids!!
