Late?

            I actually left home early.  Not an hour early, but certainly earlier than I needed to leave.  But when I got to 7^th street, there was a major wreck right in front of me.  It wasn’t my fault, but it blocked the road and I couldn’t go anywhere.  What was I supposed to do?  I explained to the police officer that I had to get to work, but she just wouldn’t listen to me.  This was about the time that Robinson hit that shot to tie the game so I still wasn’t late yet, but I know the time was getting close.  Once the wreck finally got moved, I went onto 6^th and immediately got behind a funeral procession.  Now, I wasn’t going to pass a funeral procession! 

            So I turned off 6^th and headed south, but I wound up south of the tracks and got all scared.  My heart was pounding and my blood pressure was rising, I could just feel it.  I freaked out and couldn’t get back north of the tracks.  This took forever; I was hardly even recognizing what was happening.  It was about when Rush missed and the game went to overtime.  I think that’s when it was…I saw it on Sports center later.  Once I finally got back north of the tracks, I turned back on 6^th and got behind the stupid funeral procession again and followed them slowly to work.  So really it wasn’t my fault I really tried everything I could!
