Left for Mickey D’s
For an early Hazelnut coffee
Stopped to deposit money
In the checking account…
Wasn’t far from home and didn’t hear
The sirens
Probably because I was groving to the ‘60s
On the Sirius radio channel..
Was merrily riding along until…
I turned the corner and saw
Fire trucks in front of my house…
My first thought??!?
Did I leave that Yankee Candle burning…
No one was home…
Will they let me in to get out my pictures
And new car from the garage…
And my dogs ashes…
As I pulled in front I saw
The para medics taking off their
Fire suits and realize it was my neighbors
House…
Then my mind and worry shifted
opening the window of my car
pulled close to the firemen…
they poked their head in the window
And said all was okay…
As they realized how scared I must have
Looked…
Then they asked If I was okay…
As the panic drained from my face…
My face shows all my reactions
In fire red…
All’s well that ends well!!!!
