HEY YOU! Get Outta My Space


Fahrvergnügen all the way baby!




don't let that sweet smile and white hair fool you

she's perfected the art of looking refined

24 carat .. the real deal

watch as she swooshes into the packed lot

Fahrvergnügen all the way baby

no way in hell is she

gonna surrender that primo space

admit it .. you've always wanted

to witness a maneuver like hers

[ one-upping the competition ]

she wagers Virgos are a rare breed tonight

breathes a deep sigh  

slides into that "VIRGO" slot

hers and hers alone!

[ come on, be honest .. wouldn't you like to be a Virgo too? ]

    Ha! I know both Virgos and Leos and neither is truly the retiring type! Thanks, Helen. k.

    Ha.. Battling for parking spaces has never been my style.. But I think I have seen this kind.

    I wish you could see the smirk on my face. I'm an Aries, and you know how full of ourselves we can be... and often are *cough*. But right now, I'm tipping my witchy hat to the hilarious power of a Virgo driving. ;-D

    Haha! I love this, Helen. My husband and younger daughter are both Virgos, so I know the score.

    Fun. My poem is also about a disrespectful parked car. But yours has an attractive kind of pizzazz that makes me laugh.

    This made me smile....Virgo Is Preferred, cackle.......love it. I, on the other hand, am the one in the rusted dented wreck, hesitating just that few seconds too long to get the spot. I am resigned to it. Virgos Do It Better, hee hee! This was fun!

    My mother explained the fact that we didn't get along as well as we might by pointing out that she was a Virgo and me a Pisces.

    Well I am a Scorpio and you know how shy and retiring they are. I never battle for space. I just drive a bit more until I find the better space! The one marked: If you aren't a Scorpio, don't bother.

    This is a nice one, Helen. What do they say, "the old Nag knows her way to the barn?" I wrote on Mox Nicht in September, https://jimmiehov6.blogspot.com/search?q=mox. For sure I don't want to be a Virgo, it would require surgery, I'm a Scorpio but I don't pay attention nor blame. What it will be will be, Mox Nicht.

    Better to admire than feel annoyed ... I guess.

    Well, I'm a Virgo, but don't relish fighting for parking spaces.
    But bring a Bear,
    1. I don't need parking spaces very often, and
    2. If I just stand up, people will usually give me enough space that I can park where I need to be.
    When it comes to parking, don't you wish you were a Bear, too?

      My dream, to be a female version of Rob Bear! And rule the parking lots!

    I am not a Virgo sun but a Virgo moon, and surrounded by Virgo family members. I have come to appreciate their candour, and loving insistence on doing the right thing.

    This made me think of the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. :D I don't think I know too many Virgos though.

    Oh my dear wooney friend! Thanks for dreaming along with me. I feel very flattered by your dream; that will keep my spirits high for a month at least!
