X marks the spot

inquiringmind: For those who are stuck
in that proverbial
"one that got away" groove
IF we are granted
Three score and ten
Why waste time
riding that same
old
tired
cantankerous
ugly
mean spirited
nag
to the promised land
when there are
other forms of transportation
Oh, well
I guess
there are times
when we all
get a cross
and an X confused.
