Driving along the roadway
With joy in my heart,
A man was there before me
Looking rather smart.
His thumb he held asunder
Looking for a gift,
I had no need to hurry
I gave him a lift.
We chatted with each other
As through miles we sped,
We spoke about our lifetimes
Many things were said.
He then asked a question
Which had come to mind,
“What if I were a killer
Of the serial kind?”
“That would be so unlikely”
I said with a smirk,
“Two serial killers in the car
Would not really work!”

Oh lol, a fine write Gold. An old joke now? I was a serial killer - I poisoned people's cornflakes - or porridge, or bacon and eggs even!
I'm a serial killer - I crush corn flakes.
Now this a real grin maker - thanks for starting the day off so well Andy.
My pleasure Michael - don't be scared though I do not pick up hitchhikers - or do I?
Ha ha.. I thought this was going to be a take on Douglas Adams novels... I certainly was not expecting the punchline... I expect the chances would be pretty slim.. but who knows... the most successful serial killers, are those who have not been caught........ we could be surrounded by them..... what a bloomin thought........ N
Thank you Neville, you would be OK at night as I don't come out at night nowadays, be careful during the day though.
Thanks for scaring UNCLE ANDY : Angela here (10pm) after a hard day in the CLINIC ! Love FILM THEME MUSIC ! First time I saw PSYCHO I wouldn't shower (n my own !) for weeks ! Love your very elegant verse. HITCH HIKING is a dying profession ! Iam a RED BELT KARATE so when I HITCH HIKED I knew I could take care iof myself. Peple still hitch in NZ and a Young Nubile Senorita like me has no problem in getting a LIFT ! PSYCHPATHS are interesting people and they now provise their own CYCLE PATHS for them ! We dont get many in NZ : AMEN
Thanks for an interesting BEDTIME read & record !
Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always ANGELA : 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Please check POSITIVITY ~ Thanks A !
I saw Psycho at the cinema when it first came out in the 1960's what a scary film. I did not watch it again until about 5 years ago and was astonished at how good it was. There is actually nothing really horrific to be seen as it is all in our minds as to what we think happens, very clever.
Hmmm hitch hikers.... i'm reluctant. You just dont know what you are inviting into your car.
Apart from that, when i tried hitching a lift in my younger days i was mostly out of luck... i'm big guy and probably looked like trouble.
Loved your piece today. I didn't see the punchline coming and it did raise a laugh. Thank you.
I do not pick up hitchhikers either and even in my youth (you know back when they horse drawn coaches) I did not hitchhike.
Glad you had a laugh, laughing is the best way to cure ill.
Now we know one is telling the truth and the other......
What a punchline 🤗
You can't but smile at your post
Thank you Suresh, glad I made you smile.
