The days plan was to make hanging baskets.
Dirt planters, soil, old planters emptied
The phone rings, It is seven in the morning.
"Dan the nurse says I have to go to the hospital"
The bottom falls out of a dirt filled planter
Dirt is all over the deck Petticoat Dictator
With her Sister is on a daughter thing
Hours away at college with her sister I am it.
After all my favorite Mother in law is 95.
We sit in the emergency room all day taking tests
Turns out she has a bladder infection
I take her home and head to drug store for pills
The weather turns from sunshine to nasty and cold
The car is blinking need gasoline-- ding ding
When I get back she is sleeping and my blood pressure
Is reading deadly high the pills are not working
It is ice cold out windy and planters are everywhere
Just another day in the life of Dandy
Petticoat Dictator well return "What have you been
doing while I was gone? Did you put the garbage out?
I suppose you have just been playing video games
We had a girls fashion show a rummage sale and great dinner."
I tell her, "I have gas well do the flower pots tomorrow
after i clean up garbage blown up the street with flowers
and pots found all over the neighborhood." Dogs next door hate me.
They like Petticoat Dictator because she yells at me
Wait until she sees the flowers I bought they are artificial
and blew over the roof to the neighbors yard with the dogs
