FLEXIBLE

"...'Cause I'm Leavin'...on a Jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again..."


Itinerary will change daily
on nothing but
slim
whim-eroni...

Well...when I set out
riding super-scooter 'Flex', it
feels like a Jet takeoff
no shifting gear                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Just one looong swooOOOSHHHHH!
--and I'm outta here,
or there,
or anywhere!

Annual trudge, it is time!
Begin Tuesday AM at nine
--I ride for PEACE, Peeps.
Need no gold                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         it's only riding keeps
me less old

My dreams shall
need no money to 'see'
under faraway tree
my Honey, without me
reclining, lying--
sweetly sighing
here, there, 
everywhere

...and some call me insane
'cause I'm leavin'
like a Jet Plane...
don't know when
be back again.

NOTE:
(But probably between 2-3 weeks,
with aching back and butt...but
happily in PEACE with Universe
and you, my lovely Peeps!)

      Last time I got one of those I told the judge it was God Speeding.

      He said, "'Cuff him!"

    1. How nice that you drop in here tonight--10 PM--when I needed a pick-me-up! No...everything's fine, just end-of-the-day blah, a fleeting moment. Actually, I got a cold...nuff said.

      ENJOYING SO many happenings, I'd need to isolate for a month to get them all down on (I almost wrote "paper"!) the keyboard.

      Tomorrow, meet with friends (sober man, sober wife, sober son)5:30 meeting, and dinner. Then leave for Charleston SC Fri morning EARLYYYYYY. A long ride (for me!) Friday.

      Again, thanks for commenting here, so I could "talk back!" --grin!
      PEACE, Magpie-Peep!

    1. Thanks, Linda. I not the risk-taking type Peep you think...why, dearie, I've never even bought a single lotto ticked--would not even know how.

      Now, as far as traffic goes, as long as I can stay out in front of the trucks (or is it BEHIND?) I'll be OK! Now which was it...hmmmm, in front...no, maybe, ummmm!
