I cannot stop kissing nor hugging my kids.
In fact, there’s no way I can stay away from them!
Close contact of my kind is essential, not optional.
No matter how often I wash my hands,
Avoid touching my eyes and mouth,
It’s inescapable,
It’s sneaked in, walls have been breached,
And it started with a sneeze and a sniff.
As I start out my day,
A sign says, ‘Accident Ahead’
Betchabygollywow,
Just when I thought better days are coming!
Comes a traffic that will keep me braking.
Didn’t see any accident,
Except for red lights and blue 1-800-PACIFIC
And white Goodcents who keep asking,
How’s my driving? Call 1-800-653-3445,
At every stoplight.
Whew!
He was beginning to piss me off,
Glad that at street of Arrow he turned,
Finally, a change of view as I was starting to churn!
No denying this accident.
What happened, I have no clue.
Perhaps it was the gale-force wind that caused an overturn at Kenwood
Or the new traffic pattern that would have me nominated for sainthood.
Whatever it was,
I felt like I was in a bubble
With a blocked nose and hard-hearing ears,
Walls of immunity’s been breached,
Hope this post does not start a jinx.

Thanks! How come my posts always remind you of him? Do they (my posts) say of doom?!

Further to my previous reply I’m with you now…your helicopter post a few weeks back got me thinking Eels! Now I’ve done it again…must be his musical theme and your blog theme coinciding…or else I am just an idiot…probably the latter!

Odd to have seen the same thing twice in you writing…a subliminal or potential tragedy within each drive we take?

There does seem to be a sort of bubble or wall of immunity when one is driving. Perhaps that may add to why people think they are invincible and do stupid things on the road!

Yes, in my case, I couldn’t seem to hear well. Probable cause is my blocked nose. Coming down the mountain always make my ears pop. But not today.

Too congested for even your ears to pop? All those Santa Anas I suppose? Feel better soon!

This crazy weather! One day cold, next day too hot! Well, at least we didn’t have feet of snow! Still remember that post of yours! Lol!
Thanks, Marissa! Guess I’ll have to take Nyquil.. though I’m never the type who’d just pop a pill to feel better. But it’s nearly Friday!!! I’ve got to hang in there!

Hope your feeling better. Beginning of Spring had be all clogged up with my allergies for two weeks that ended with an upper respiratory infection. Been doing a lot of natural anti-inflammatory remedies which eventually had me win the battle. No antibiotics this time. Wonderful poetry, well woven together, making the reader feel like he or she was there at the very moment it was happening. Have a great weekend.

Thank you! Just some much needed rest and fluids, I’d be back on the road in no time! I’m not keen on taking antibiotics either. I’d like to take warm water with honey and ginger which seems to help a lot. Also an extra dose of vit C with plenty of water.
I’m glad you overcame this ‘spring fever’! 😉
