It was a drag and a blessing
Because of the truck’s blocking
Freeway lanes last Monday
It was at home I finally stayed – to my boss’s dismay.
Tuesday morning came and all ready
Only to be greeted by conductor’s announcement
We’d be going until Monctlair only was his plea.
Shock and wonder why from going to work was I prevented?
Determined yet helpless
Called my husband and told him of my stress
“Don’t worry”, he reassured me no less
“I’ll rescue you, my damsel in distress!”
*Everyone’s talking in the train of how long they got stuck and how they got to work — eventually.
Traversing Lines 
A nice touch of romance in the face of the irksome tedium of the commute

No. I wasn’t. I get paid by the hour. Unless I apply it to my VL. Sucks!

But I won’t. I wasn’t sick. I’ll apply it to my vacation credits, if any left. Yikes!

Hey, an unexpected day off is always welcome. It just wasn’t meant to be that day.

Thank you. Of course a day off my commute is always more than welcome. By the time the fwy lanes were open and by the time I would’ve gotten to work, it’d be time to go home again. Oh well! I had a good rest though. So that was good.

Or feared? Ha ha! I was thankful he came to my rescue. I could’ve taken Uber but would cost me hundreds considering the distance I was still from work.
