Owning It!

She was owning it.

In a city packed with cars for hire, she always got a second look from other drivers and passersby. Not always the business, mind you, but a second look. And … that meant they remembered her the next time they needed a car.

Not that everyone dialed for hers.

I could see how it would require a certain level of self-confidence to not be unsettled by being seen entering or emerging from her vehicle.

“Which is fine by me,” she chuckled. “Weeds out the weirdos and overly judgemental. I don’t need them in my ride.”

Her phone rang.

“Moron Taxi,” she answered cheerfully, “where and how far?”

A Bit Eccentric

He may be a bit eccentric

And his music may be bold,

But his mama will be happy

That his head will not be cold,

That someone is watching over

Just in case he should be told,

That it is time to eat the snack

Before his energy will fold.
