VERY THANKFUL ~ and ~ THOROUGHLY POETIC THURSDAY

Angel Sammy and his brother Teddy gave us quite an amusing photo challenge for this week's poem.  A fun little image and as usual we here at Zoolatry were again challenged to add our own special photo as it brought forth a recent memory.  Hope you enjoy!

PLANES, TRAINS and AUTOMOBILES

Well, there are no trains, sorry to say.
We've read that Amtrak has poor service today.

Go driving the highways, then in a flash,

smash, crash, airbags. Whiplash!

A big SUV might be better at least,

than this hot-wheels-toy-car that

gets treated like a holiday feast.

Munched up, crunched up, crumbled beyond repair,

bringing days and nights of only despair.

Now, if you want to fly ~ fly big, or fly small.

Chances are you'll get there,

if you just stay up there, don't fall.

They say it's safer to fly,

up high in the sky.

And those little planes can land anywhere,

in cornfields, on a street!

With JUNE, certified pilot,

the Grim Reaper you'll not meet!

Also, today I am very thankful as I have been for many days recently.  My granddaughter, soon to be a college senior ~ and let me say before going further ~ she is well and fine ~ was involved in a serious auto accident on a major highway in Orlando; not her fault in any way and angels rode with her that day.  A truck hit her car, her car is totaled, all airbags deployed and surely also gave her much protection.  She exited with help through a passenger window as no doors could be opened.  Bruises and cuts and aches and pains and after shock anxiety were her only injuries, so yes ~ offering many prayers of thanks every day.
