Momma gathers twigs
Dreaming of an egg-filled nest
Needs the perfect spot

In a colorless world
Wherever you look, greys
Potential for dull days
I bring my own

This week we were invited to write ab0ut someone being in the right place at the right time. As I have done many times in the past, I pulled from my personal experiences. Should you desire to join in the fun, hang out at the Carrot Ranch
Annette loved her job at the Ambassador Bridge, Hers was a glorified secretarial position processing Import and Export paperwork for U.S. Customs. And the friendships formed with people from all walks of life were the best part.
As she did several times a day, Annette walked along the bridge plaza to the Customs dock office. Suddenly, she felt the ground give way under her feet. She screamed for help, and a nearby truck driver grabbed her and pulled her to safety.
It seems she had stepped on a loose manhole cover and that quick-thinking driver actually saved her life!

LOOSE & TIGHT (synonyms only)
an Abhanga
The shoes are just too big
The dress much too clingy
Her hair straight and stringy
Sucks to be her
