Repairs

Jenny has a broken heart.
A municipal crew arrives at her house.
Paunchy men in orange safety vests and white hard hats knock on her door.

"Yes?"

The foreman has a beat-up clipboard and flips pages.
"Broken heart?"

Jenny thinks he said "broken hat."

The foreman speaks again.
"Okay boys, hot patch it!"
Men fixing things.

    Shay, my heart always skips a beat when I see that you've played.
    I'm honored, and the world is a much better and safer place to live in when you 55 with us...:-)
    Loved your hard of hearing 55
    Thanks for the morning smile, thanks for your support and friendship, and please have a Kick Ass Week-End.

    I feel safer already.

    It's always so much easier to break than fix. Or hot patch than start over and repave the whole highway to hell.

    This was a fun read and a nice 55:~)

    There have been many times when I wished I could call a "crew" to come fix my broken heart. However, it this ever comes to pass I will be sure to enunciate my words very clearly:~)
