Already late for work
My job stocking shelves with gift cards
Along with their joyous messages.
I have a few choice words
Hallmark never heard of
As I rock this boat
Of a ’68 Impala
Back and forth ever
So gently thinking
Don’t goose the gas
Be patient
As I throttle back
And forth between drive
And reverse
Until finally my Mom
Comes out with a couple
Of old blankets and
Throws them under
The rear tires and wouldn’t
You know it the
Tires take hold
As my Mom waves
And the world
At least for a minute
Becomes one great big stinking
Hallmark moment.
