When I Let One Loose In the Elevator

When I let one loose in the elevator,
I preferred to be on an escalator
It seemed to worsen every floor
With no escape, just a tightly closed door!

People turned around, looking at me
When one pushed the emergency button to flee
Somehow, we came to a sudden halt
And I knew it was time to admit my fault!

This is hysterically funny, and it happens to us all, and the more we try to hide it, the more we are exposed. Good one Heidi, Blessings and hugs and good luck my friend. Jennifer.
