Don't Drive With Elsie When She's Tired - Humor Monday

For ten days I drove uneventfully

To see my son Mark, I was worried

I never really realized how much

Until one night I really had hurried

I think it was Thursday, the night before

He was scheduled to come home

I went later than I usually did

Mo valet parking and I needed some

I did find a parking place near the elevator

That would take me over the walk bridge inside

Of course it was a rainy night what is new

So I locked up my car , took that walk in stride

I stayed two hours and then said goodnight

Before they threw me out at eight

I looked for my keys, they weren't in my bag

I had my second set, so waked  at a faster gait

I kept thinking if I dropped the keys right next to the car

Someone might have absconded with it

It's quite a long walk over the walk bridge

And believe me I was having a fit

I took the elevator to the floor where I parked

and since I had found such a wonderful spot

It wasn't long until I saw my car

My lights were on , I started to do a hobbling trot

I thought some one was revving it up

Getting ready to go

But there my car sat quite serenely

No one inside wouldn't you know

My keys were hanging in the ignition

And I opened the door and felt the cold air

I'd left the darn car running for two hours

Glad I had gas to spare

I think I must be tired or I'm senile or beginning to be

I made myself an omelet when I got home, easy recipe for my head

Had everything all set to go, tea bag and plate waiting for toast

It was taking too long, no wonder, I forgot to put in the bread

Mark's home now and we're in the same place

I have both of my sets of keys in my bag

I don't have to go driving to see his dear face

I'm staying put till I'm over my hospital jet lag
