When Something Is Amiss Be On Your Way
The mystery man in the orange feathered hat,
Invited Miss Scarlett to a Tit-and-A-Tat.
She had no idea what it was but she went anyway.
She wasted her precious time, and a lot of her wonderful day.
Abject annoying politeness kept her in her seat,
Trying to pretend he was exotic and fun.
When she should have been swiftly on the road,
Much more quickly and wisely on the run.
The mystery man in the orange feathered hat,
Revealed nothing about himself and was weirdly insane.
Miss Scarlett stayed in place like a solid place mat.
Until she could run away, out in the rain.
Moral of the story, in case you did not see.
Is to honor yourself, to your heart feel, be.
When something is amiss, be on your way.
When something is wrong, do not let it take most of your day.
