Rescued

I remember
When you saved my life
When I fell through the ice
And couldn’t escape
The numbing cold
Soaked into me
Stealing my heat
Sapping my life
Then
With sudden clarity
I knew
Just what to do
And I told you to
Get the ladder
We left leaning
Against a tree
And bring it to me
Reaching safely
And allowing me
To pull myself out
Shivering and numb
Rushing back to
The familiar warmth
Of home

  1. So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just cant resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe's dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I'll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I'll mail you the check. Oh, and by the waydon't worry about my Doberman. He won't bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe's apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn't contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”

  2. A different twist on the old joke about the plumber coming to fix the sink. LOL!
