The time when soft distant chimes were causing a soothing melody is in the past. Unless you live in certain areas of Europe where the decades of sane villages continue pleasant chatter in a safe warm room. Now we retreat under a leafy weeping willow tree to enjoy a long private conversation.

OLWG# 424- A Victorian Christmas
There was a boy, he was named Tim
He was tall, hairy and very thin.
His girlfriend, she was quite tiny
Her name was Sue and she was whiny
“Get your awful hair cut, you need a trim!”
So he just left her, on a whim.

The rattle of thunder and rush in the river was radar for the string of happenings to come. The haunted eyes, circled in black, the white skin stretched like pebbles over bones tips me off to what’s next.

Fasten your seatbelt was the cry
As a flash of a stop sign flew by
Go faster said the genius in back
And then I realized the driver’s lack
Wasn’t wearing his glasses
As the country side passes
I suddenly spy
And offer a cry
There’s a ditch you can’t see
Guy in back agreed
And then we all landed at the edge of a sea!
This tale is short, not a great ending
When your ride is quickly descending
Driver should not be dim sighted,
Driving too fast and frankly, delighted.
