Things'Ll Be Different

Dear God: In my next life I want a mother who loves me like she should, and a father who is sober, is that portion understood? And please give me a brother who treats me with humanity, and whose talents do not teeter on the sharp edge of insanity. Lord, next time, make me beautiful, with skin as smooth as cream, and eyes the hue of twilight and the riches of a queen. And, God, grant me a singing voice so I can rock on stage, and let me meet my soul mate, Lord, before I reach old age! I say, the heck with Karma, give me one life of pure bliss, where troubles never find me and nothing goes amiss. Things'll be different, next time... ©copyright2009DanielleWhite

If nothing ever went amiss, we'd be bored out of our freakin' minds. I like walking on the edge. It helps keep the heart beating. There is an old saying, be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Don't forget the grass is always greener over the septic tank (Carol Burnette). Have a great day. Vince

Brilliantly amusing write. But what is this I see in verse three? Surely you cannot be made any more beautiful than you already are! I will take your $10 'cos I'm not Pisces (I think I'd like to be though). Love, Nigel
