Falling in love
with a race car driver
surprised me as much as it did you.

When the children come,
he has promised
to find a new,

safer line of work.
How many grandkids?
I think you can plan on two.

  1. Ahh, the story takes another surprising turn. Married to a race car driver??
    "Round and Round"

    Can you see me
    there on the left
    in the white sailor cap?

    I'm just back
    from traveling the globe
    on a navy frigate

    Why would I care
    about watching
    three cars go round
    a miniscule
    dirt track

    when I have moved in
    much bigger circles?

    1. Yes, I suppose the racetrack would seem quite trivial to a WWII vet.
      Or maybe a place to go and forget.

      Back story -- mom married an agricultural spray pilot. I don't think that promise came right at the beginning, but the realization did. Sadly, we kids caused him to abandon his true love -- flying.
