Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

What Does He Want

It is disconcerting to walk past your car
and see a man crouched down, hiding in the back seat.
Who is he?
What does he want?
Do I warn my husband before he hot tails it out for gas?
Or would he rather be surprised?
Perhaps it is an old college roommate.
I think
as I wave goodbye from the driveway.

Ann Peck March 30, 2021 at 2:11 PM That's a scary one! A woman's worst fear (well, one of them). Mainly, stay off the phone til you know it's safe! Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2021 at 4:27 PM "listen to your fear" should be stamped on T-shirts, for it is important Ann! Ann Peck March 30, 2021 at 2:13 PM Also, listen to your fear.

Gershon Wolf March 29, 2021 at 9:22 PM Chuckle, smirk, grin -- grimace. Hope it isn't a carjacker. Good one, Caren! :) gw Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2021 at 3:07 AM I just have to tell you, I see things sometimes and bam, there is a poem! I walked past my car (in the garage) and felt strongly a man was going to be crouching down in the back seat. This was after we watched a guy (on our video camera) destroy our mailbox with a crowbar - he did it at 5:38 a.m. Weird huh?

L Milton Hankins March 29, 2021 at 7:12 PM Oh no, tell me you didn't! These days that could be a tragic situation. Glad you waved goodbye, though. Caren Krutsinger March 30, 2021 at 3:08 AM I have to admit this was a fabrication, and an exaggeration, which is what I do....
