Tap  N  Go

Half a walnut shell,
looking very swell.

My little walnut boat,
how it likes to float.

It is a perfect size,
for my big happy ride.

I spin all around,
it is very sound.

Floating on the water,
it gets much hotter.

I ended my little ride,
and became normal size.

I watched the shell go away,
I’ll do it again another day.

MORE POEMS
Poetry comes in many forms, and I like experimenting with many styles.

Right next to a car repair business, and when I pushed my forty-niner into the business, the car mechanic hoisted it into the air to take a look. He saw that the cotter pin was missing from the clutch rod and the clutch pedal.

He told me, "It will take 5 minutes to replace the pin, and it'll cost eight dollars to replace." 

I shouted, “Eight Bucks." Why so much?” 

Being much older and taller than I, he bent down and looked me in the eye. 

He said in a firm, calm voice, “Calm down, son. You are paying me for what I know, not what I do.”

I shrugged my shoulders, nodded my head, smiled, and meekly said, “OK.” 

$8.00 was equal to four hours' pay in 1969, and I didn't have a spare cotter pin in my pocket. I was sure the pin cost less than five cents, but eight dollars for labor? That felt like Highway Robbery to me.

 
I bought my ’49 Ford in March of 1968, from a guy who needed money for taxes. It was my first car, and in 1969, it got me to work on time.

MORE STORIES
Many of my stories are based on memories that happened, and other stories come from my active imagination.

After writing my dream, I will publish it on Medium.com, where other writers publish their work. 

I can read their work, and they, in turn, read mine. 

Together, we learn elements and new styles of writing. We offer comments about what we learned from reading each other's work.

YES INDEED!

I have received a lot of help from the writing community on Medium. 

Learn how you can start. Email questions about writing on Medium.com.

HeyLuMarLee@gmail.com

I will provide sources where you can learn more.

I respond to Emails after breakfast. Monday through Friday, 8:33 AM California time.
