it’s HOMECOMING WEEK in our small town
and though I am not an avid football fan
I LOVE HOMECOMING!
and all the festivities
the parade
the bonfire
the crowning of the newest queen
and the game
well-I don’t get all CRAZY about the game
but I do enjoy visiting with friends
I haven’t seen since high school
speaking of high school
and the Homecoming court
which leads me to wonder
“Who’s Who” of high school today?
which leads to how I wish
Most Absent Minded
hadn’t been what defined me then
and how desperately I hoped
I would have outgrown that title by now
but haven’t
just ask the sweet, young woman at church yesterday
that I called “Amanda”
and her name ISN’T “Amanda”
and her husband’s name ISN’T “Nick” but
BUT FOR THE LIFE of me
I CAN NOT REMEMBER their names
WHY? can’t I remember names?!
maybe it’s because I’m so spastic
for example like last night or rather
weee early this morning
as I lay awake in bed thinking:
“we need to start cutting wood
and storing up for winter like the little ant..
and then “wasn’t the wedding on Saturday dreamy?” “weddings are so whimsical and Pintrest-ty nowadays” and “gosh! I hope I can color my own hair because I sure would like to save that money for something else” and “o me! I wish I COULD GO BACK TO SLEEP!”
please reassure me that
I am not alone
in my wacky
WEAR
ME
OUT
mind..
surely
there must be others
that can
holler
“WHOOP-WHOOP!! for the C-R-A-Z-I-E-S!”
