Lyrics
I found fifteen bucks on the sidewalk going home last night; RIGHT WHEN I NEEDED IT, TOO.
And I AM not going to waste it. I will have a nice weekend of inexpensive chili DOGS that I love when I AM starving. Wouldn’t eat them any other time, even IF they were free. I think my good fortune ... rather, I AM SURE that my good fortune came from the day before when the man in line in front of me at Kroger left his change in the little money tray where it rolls down in to ... and I went out and gave it to him ... I could have USED the 80 cents ... but knew I would PAY FOR IT in some other way if I didn't get it to him. He had purchased this large sheet cake ... for a birthday. The cake had two names on it, similar, so I asked him if he had twins. He said YES. I told them about my friends, Dale and Kathy, who had twins back in Memphis 1978 ... how Kathy was always freaked out ... "Rick, they look so much alike, identical, I never can remember who I have fed, given medication to, rocked, who needs a nap, or anything."
Told him about that but how she made things worst as she was always stoned on pot. She didn't help things with my second wife, Gwin, as the two of them would go door to door, supposedly collecting money for the Easter seals or something, to buy POT. Idiots.
Oh well ... like they say, what goes around, comes around. Leaving the Kroger lot ... I kept thinking I could have used that eighty cents, but felt good knowing something good would come my way ... and it did. Funny thing was ... The way home was a different path. I had left the library and took a different road. I had also changed my plans ... had previously planned to go somewhere else, first, BEFORE going home, then as I walked out ... went home instead ... down a different street. If I had stuck with my original plans ... I'd have ended up going home later ... and down the usual road I normally take.
The road untaken ... Being a wanderer, long I stood ... and I took the road less traveled by ... and it has made all the difference. (Thank You God).
Try it. You might like it. Love you ...
