Sometimes You Just Don't See IT Coming

This old gal…

Was toodling along…on that daily walk of hers…pondering life…admiring the view…challenging cholesterol…to a duel…walked all the way to the Mighty Mississippi…the sun glistening on the water…the bridge…glorious…in the distance…

It was peaceful…beautiful…serene…the renovated downtown…quaint…the buildings…offering peeks into days of old…yet moving forward…gracefully…into the future…when suddenly…the leisurely walk…took a turn…an ominous turn…cuz there…IT was…wasn’t sure at first…had that feeling…hairs standing up on the back of the neck kind of feeling…someone watching you…some…thing…watching you…kind of feeling…

Walked around the block one more time…to check IT out…and sure enough…IT was there…watching…waiting…but IT…had nothing on this old gal…for she walks…every day…and when she has to…she can walk fast…really really fast…and that’s just what…she did…zoomed out of there so fast…

IT…didn’t see IT…coming…

And that husband of mine…agrees…
