My life flashed before my eyes as I sat in the driver’s seat
I clung to the wheel for dear life
my face was as white as a sheet
Would this brave man named Dale
live to tell the tale?
Had he written out a will
Drafted Out in great detail ?
I was petrified you see
But he had confidence in me
His fantastic sense of humour
Acted as a diffuser
He calmly talked me through it
With the patience of a saint
How he coped I’ll never know
As Michael Schumacher I ain’t!
He had a scientific brain
And as we drove he would explain
Tell me random facts and stories
As we ventured through welsh lanes
Now I really can’t deny
That one manoeuvre made me cry
But with his tolerance and charm
My frustration he did disarm
When I finally passed my test
His relief was well expressed
He turned my life around
Now freedom I have found

softly stirring their beds,
the gentle snore of calm.
the diffuser soothes the senses -
a grandma’s blend of lemon,
eucalyptus, peppermint, basil,
tea tree and rosemary.
allowing winsome dreams to croon
after the forgetful fit of coughing

who rolled the dice...
how did i get my dad-in-law in the divorce…
as my husband’s checked out
due to the achoo dispensation box
now i’m dishing out errands
for “dear old pop”
who rags on me
for gargoyle tea
as he coughs up jokes
and pokes fun at my lot
i tap my darling’s shoulder
and he rolls over in bed
taking his own temperature
of one hundred and one degrees
i put a pillow over my head
so i can scream
a diffuser blows essential oil smoke
of lemon, eucalyptus and Italian seasonings
i spray lysol from room to room
but clutches of gloom overshadow me

AROMATHERAPY
gray mist percolates
through chute.
lemon oil purifies air.
diffuser loops its mood colors,
as water evaporates,
and i fall
fast asleep,
in wholesome breaths.
