    Ode to Blue-Haired Ladies

    © 1990Ode to Blue-Haired LadiesBy FlatDaddy    They drive battleships down Mopacat eighty miles per hour,Peeping through the window of the wheel,Hands at ten and two above their heads. Next to them,I see blue birds' nests and noses,spectacles perched atop their beatific...

    • I saw two Blue haired ladies today. There is something about them that exudes strength…
      I like your stanza about the cars they drive. “The first church of Buick”—
      this is innovative in its metaphor and analogies.

    • Thank you so much, Jacob. I truly do appreciate your opinions.

    • hello dearest Daddy I’ve known these ladies they say is Jesus is their copilot and I believe them they somehow always get home safe great write ❤️

      • Thank you so much, Crimsin. Yes, they always manage, don’t they? One day, they might all meet on the same road and we’ll have a pileup of angelic proportions, hubcaps and plastic virgins flying everywhere!

    • I had one job for which I had to wear a suit. I had that job for five days and got fired.
      Now, I wear t=shirts and shorts and teach English in comfortable garb. The students are comfortable with me and the President of the college is just fine with it.
      It is how we do our job that counts…appearances are just surface perceptions.
      I like green too, but will take less of it to be comfortable.
      I just got a fortune two days ago in my fortune cookie. It said “you will soon get a promotion at your job”—
      pretty funny since I am still teaching but am retired.
      I guess the promotion might be to my next life?
      sorry…this poem got me going.

      • Well, don’t believe that cookie; it’s just a crumby memory now, some half-baked idea that couldn’t take the heat.
        Okay, I’ll stop now; besides, I haven’t been awake long enough to think of more witticisms. That’s just how it crumbles. Ooo, ouch. okay, bye.
