Laid-back Lizzie
Would not be pressed
Into a tizzy.
She left herself
With ample
Time,
To saunter to and
From her
Crime.
She kept pace
When sirens blared
And ambled on
As others stared.
She did not hold
With running
Fast.
But strolling was what
Caught up with her
At last.

Ha! I like the photo you have with this fun piece.
I was in a small town in Maine once walking down Main Street when the cops pulled over, got out, rushed past me down an alley and came back with a raccoon in a live catch trap. The gig was up!

Thank you, Keith. As a (particularly mischievous) young kid I had worked with would say – “if you do the crime, make sure you can run fast to avoid doing the time.”

That battle is won, but the war has just begun. 🙂 Fun read, Na’ama.

Can’t you hear her thoughts, “So what’s the problem? It’s just garbage.” 🙂

Ha! Or … she may be saying “What’s the big deal? A gal’s gotta keep glamorous, and I need my fur to be glistening.” 😉
