It was my journey at TOWN HALL on West 43rd Street in New York City
It was being in a cast part of “I NEED A MAN” on BROADWAY
It was a Gospel play
I had one single line to say
I played a Date
It wasn’t a big part, but I did appreciate
But as my story goes on, there’s an although
I was raised my by Grandparents who forbidden me to go into show business
But God is my witness
It all happened when my Grandparents passed away
It didn’t happen on the same day
In fact, Broadway came too me, and that is what I want to emphasize for all too see
I am a Natural Actor
Never had any Performing Arts training
But I have been around Broadway Stars
Yet my heart says forever yours Broadway
But I am thankful for that moment on that day
The show must go on
But the Pandemic extended really long
However, show business I don’t want to belong
I will always cherish in the opportunity in being part of the stage of Broadway
I imagine performing under the spotlight and surrounded by the singing
But my mind is constantly thinking
It was a fun stunt
I am not looking to Broadway to hunt
It was a moment thing
It was Broadway throughout in entertainment with a swing.

Someone in the Church wanted to sing a solo
But at the time, it started out as only a photo
Yet this was the night for the Church Choir to rehearse
This might be the time for a reverse
It was an allegorizing moment of sour note upon sour note
I would make anybody in the audience to choke
Someone suggested in let us pray
The Choir definitely needed a miracle
Now it has always been said, “Make a joyful noises”
But somewhere the congregation would disagree
Sour notes don’t win this
But how will the church congregation respond Fetch, Quiver and the words, Lord have mercy?
So painful as it was, the congregation managed to get how the sweet the sound by way of a sermon, “Glory in speaking Words”
That was the best unmusical tune ever heard
Amen to prayer and singing that never got there.

ALUMNI WORDS
preservationman Apr 2023
Honest and true
Alumni who always pursue
I will never forget my education and Degree from CUNY Medgar Evers College
I graduated many years ago
I just want you to know
I wasn’t sure what to expect
I knew it would be Theory, Concepts and Analysis
Medgar Evers College taught me always be determined and you will have a following
For me, it was intervention
For that, it is appreciation
College classes that offered insights
The Professors would often encourage me directly and say, “You will make it”
There were times doubt entered my mind
Yet assurance came directly through my professors
They saw in me which I didn’t see in myself
Trial and error approach
When it came to Midterms and Final exams, I didn’t panic, I simply studied in preparation and buckled down
The advice I offer to all incoming college students, “Nothing in life is easy, but challenging your own mind in what is to come is education and your own success story that will follow”
Medgar Evers College instilled that approach in me
Business and people that I have connected often say, “Well done Medgar Evers College and breeding one of your products”
Becoming the product, I became my own success story in confessing
My accomplishment can support that
My tomorrow is every day
My today is a preparation that was the beginning from the start with what was coming next
What matters is knowledge
What comes out being educated
CUNY Medgar Evers College did both
What you are reading didn’t happen by chance
Purpose and privilege
Standing on my own principles and standards
Expectations my grasp
The Medgar Evers College embodied spirit within
Medgar Wiley Evers which the college is named after
“Be determined while being successful”

HISTORY YOU NEVER KNEW

This will be a narrated look
It involves Rochdale Village partly in the mystique took
History clarifying mystery
Rochdale Village was a future to be
But there is much more to see
So just what is Rochdale Village?
A striving multi-Complex comprising of twenty buildings
It is a place I call home
It has that name that is well known
But plenty of space for everybody to roam
However, that is only part of my story
There is a station called LOCUST MANOR
It is a Long Island Railroad stop
The station is elevated high on top
What makes this station circumstance today?
Back in the 1800’s Locust Manor was the way
The difference today composed to yesteryear, the station was flat and on the ground with railroad crossing on the street
It was history where the station would meet
You could say it was a welcome greet
But there’s more
Now let me continue in my writing ways
What do there are off and a bet have in common?
Do you have the answer?
Well let me help you
It associates with the Jamaica Horse Racking Track
Yes this is a known fact
People would place their bets
The winners would get money and get
So history was made
Getting out of the sun and into the shade
This was all possible by the pioneers in their trade
But in closing, it is the remembrance that will never fade.

Walking down the highway
Looking for an escape
This is something any Turkey would appreciate
Thumbing for a ride
Perhaps a Greyhound Bus could provide
The Hound could take any Turkey bound
The smell of freedom having a sound
Suddenly a Greyhound bus pulled to the side
Got on the bus and the Turkey took it in his stride
Traveling on the dog
At least I am not crossing a lake by log
I am on my way
Destination bound to anywhere
My life is focused in not being killed
I have living to fulfil
Yet more determined at will
Thumbs up being free

Smiles turned into hate

Assurance being forgotten
This is totally rotten
Encouragement loss its fulfilled
It is not in the world’s will
We are Brothers and Sisters on this Earth, it doesn’t matter Race, what happened?
The world’s focus was surrounded by love
Laughter and joy to think of
It seems departed ways these days
Astray

What’s the cause?
People are called out of their names
Pure Lame
Killings, Muggings and other crimes for no reason
Senseless
Racism circulating in the picture
No nurture

When will we learn?
We didn’t create ourselves
It was a Heavenly Mighty Self

A curtain that has thin satin
The Moon having the right angle
Urges accelerating into stronger urges
It became the moment between a Man and a Woman
Their clothes seem to just fall off
It was nature setting the course
Sweat poured like steam
The love juice felt more like a warm summer stream
One could hear screams of ecstasy
But it became apparent of more, more and more
It was the signal being right in sure
Yet bodies were in full control of their emotions
It was liker waves cruising over an ocean
Lust lasted throughout the entire night
It was behind closed doors being a sight
The Man and Woman loss in their own Biology
They became their own experimental love scientist
Lust was truly on the run
The ****** was complete and the couple had fun
The Man and Woman fulfilled their lust for each other, and they were finally done
It was enjoyment being among
Urges that were extremely strong
A couple knew how to move Lust along.

Doubt full of being confused

Beyond moving in my stood

The voice sounded awesome
Encouraging and suddenly I was enriched inspiration
For the first time in my life, the struggles were more tolerate in not worrying
I stepped into my fountain of refreshing
I was now coming out of the forbidden fruit
Through spiritual thinking, I was on the top of the mountain
Distance far below in the valley
Beyond the evil reaches
Well kept
My soul began to rejoice and words of praise filled my lips
I had been spiritualized
It was a welcome surprise
I had been energized

No turning back
Staying on track

Rejoicing in knowing

GHOST STEIN

Main floor to attic
Chanting heard
A reason to panic
It wasn’t any blowing wind
All through the house
A family wasn’t alone, and it was more than a living mouse
A spirit returned in ghost form who lived prior in the house
Enters through hallways, doors, walls and roofs
A ghost that is foul proof
A sudden family actually saw
It was Benjamin Stein himself in the spirit
He was murdered in the house many years ago
It was a fortune that Mr. Stein had
He didn’t will it to his Wife, and he was killed just like that
The mystery to it, no one suspected his wife and she roams free
Mr. Stein holding so much hate and wants to haunt
So much unrest with no confess
Unforgiven
Ghostly ways
Eerie voice
Shaking of heavy chains
Cracks upon cracks throughout the house structure
Tormenting
From Eternity
Determined chant
“Get Out”
Frightful
Wonder far yonder
Family asked Mr. Stein, why have you returned?
Haunt anyone who chooses to live in this house
Suddenly an ***** played with a ring of a bell
It was midnight precise
Mr. Stein gave this only advice, “Move Out”
This could be your end
The ghostly Stein then laughs and disappears
Thriller in fears
You have been warned

It has nothing to do with Silver and Gold treasure
There is nothing in material value to measure
It doesn’t surround love of pleasure
I am not talking about a intimate interlude
Yes when you think on love follows soothe
But true hidden treasure is the goodness of one’s self
Sometimes you think of everything being in a treasure chest found in the attic
But there you go again thinking you are a rich fanatic
The hidden treasure is actually your own heart feeling the joy
Breathe in all that admiration
Look high in the sky with all that appreciation
There’s your hidden treasure
You are the possibilities and your purpose controls your realities
Hidden treasure you never thought about
You are that hidden treasure
Finding who you are and where you want to be
Reflection in and day out
Your own treasure to cherish
Hidden not
But a good find
It’s the charisma heart being unhidden treasure that is divine

A POET’S UNDERWORLD
preservationman Feb 2018
Deeper beyond any words in write
Destruction at every corner having a strange direction
Yet a plight with numerous complications
A Poet’s thought of life in the mind
A bit of surprises that might seem sublime
The Poet writes what they had experienced
The emotions were disturbed by a storm within
The storm became severe
There was a roadblock with no idea of how to preserver
The Poet’s mind became a conclude
The formulation was no solitude
But something told the Poet to jolt down the words
Immediately there was a silence with no sound
The Poet had no idea in where they would be bound
It wasn’t a place nor a town
But the Poet knows who they are and will construct a write down
The sustain will continue to remain
Yet the Poet dwells blame
A theme suddenly pops into the Poet’s head, “For Once It Came”
It’s all but a memory of a dream
It was long time ago standing as a youngster playing by a stream
I must return to reality, and think Poet
But as I write, I understand within my own convictions, and as a Poet, I now know it.

In the beginning it was love at first sight
But now all we do is fight
I have come to my senses and you are taking our relationship for granted with no directional light
I remember our romance had fire
Our love had full desire
But it is as if a clock stopped and our love expired
Yet I feel I have been burned
I am sizzling along in a charcoal urn
Love is no longer within
You have cheated on me and you are seeing someone else
My heart having a torn
Our relationship is worn
It’s a knife being a thorn
Since you no longer want my love
I am proud of who I am and will hold my head high
There are no longer questions of why
I will meet someone who sees value love in me
You are out of my life
Goodbye to you
I hope you have a good life to pursue
Now think about what you loss and think it carefully through
It’s time for me to see someone new
I gave our relationship a try
There were moments I cried
So long and this is goodbye.

Who do you think will win?
Destiny my reward
A battle with a sword
I have a cold colony heart
Don’t let my temper stir up

The Giant needs love sometimes
Happiness is sitting up in a tree
Searching but no find

I loss some friends in 9/11. God is good as I am covered under his Mercy and Grace.

Precision at every turn
Shows how the world can turn upside down
Lives that were never found
Devastation and ash having the final sound
We honor the loss being their story, and now they are in glory
It also states never take life for granted
We don’t know what will take place in our lives
Today and Tomorrow is not promised to any of us
Life is precious and time continues to revolve
But are keeping in touch with living love ones on a Daily basis?
Having that I don’t care is not the right vibe to keep

Relish the air and seeing the skies as if for the first time

I won’t turn back, I will move forward
The mission is onward
It’s the fight for Civil Rights
It was travels I am observed
Understanding helped me to be aware
Opposition upon Opposition just didn’t care
I the fight was going to be a long haul
It was Night and through Daylight
I stood on promise and being honest
I grew weary and felt tired
Civil Rights remained strong on mind in don’t let time expire
I encouraged people we must carry on
Chant after Chant, “We Shall Overcome”
I saw the image of God, and his words was, “KEEPING MOVING MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS”
Stay the course like I did going to the cross
Remember, I am Mighty and true
I am your victory, and you shall pursue
Dr. King maneuvered through those very words
Marching, Marching and Marching
Through Major Cities and Towns
Dr. King was like Moses to Freedom
But Dr. King’s mission was, “Recognize people with Dignity”
Every footstep was discerning
But sacrifice has its own story
However, God would provide the glory
A quote from Medgar Wiley Evers, “YOU CAN **** A MAN, BUT NOT A DREAM”
It was through Dr. King’s dream providing the determination that he shall not be moved
He was beaten and put in jail
This only added more mobility that transcended
It was time to March to WASHINGTON, DC
I heard the echoes of the song, “PRECIOUS LORD TAKE MY HAND”
But it established “Lead Me On”
Voices upon voices woke up Washington extending to the entire world
Racial Equality was an unjust
The moment of truth had come true
Victory was ever getting near
Opposition was focusing Hate into Fear
God made it all possible and worthwhile
That was the 1950’s and 1960’s
Peace became golden thereafter
The leader, Dr. Martin Luther King has been assassinated, but proved in his fight he intended to win
However, history seems to be reverting back where the fight for Freedom all began
Eye on Freedom and Voting in 2022
Voting rights are being attacked
Media has made it a fact
We can’t lose sight
Dr. Martin Luther King fulfilled to the world, “We are the Might”
It’s not about Black, Brown, White or any other nationality, it’s about coming together as one and respecting one another regardless
Dr. King loss his life
His words then and now would still be good advice
If Dr. King was alive today, he would say, ‘MOBILIZE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, STAND YOUR GROUND AND BRING PRINCIPLES TO THE SHORE, AND LET YOUR EYES BE LIKE AN LIGHTHOUSE IN ALWAYS BE ALERT AS TOMORROW WILL ARRIVE ONCE AGAIN”
Aim towards Freedom as I showed you the way
Never go astray
I am in Heaven, but my spirit will carry you every step of the way
You told us to stay United
Focus on Mission
Finish until done
Rest in Heavenly Peace, Dr. Martin Luther king

LIGHTHOUSE EYES

Don’t worry about angry waves
I can’t make the seas behave
I can lead you through
Captains of every Ship and Boat be calm and not be alarmed
The waves I can’t control
My spotlights in circular are behold
Sea to Sea
Shore to Shore
I am a lighthouse that ships can’t ignore
Waves can undertake a ship
It’s sidewards and downward dips
I am your eyes through the waves
God is the one that causes the seas to behave
I am the Sea Navigator
You are the Ship and Boat Operator
Let your courage be in your heart
Relish inspiration through your mind
I will definitely pull you through
A Lighthouse knows
The spotlight proves
Stormy Seas understand
My shine in vision offers assurance
Bravery throughout into endurance
Of course, make sure you have insurance
Lighthouses to ships, “You will get through the sea wall”
Even if your Ship or Boat engine should stall
Lighthouses have been established and the seas for all

A POET’S CRIME WAVE
preservationman Mar 2018
It was **** on the Poet’s mind
Illuminate being a combine
The thinking might sound sublime
The Poet’s words continued to walk the streets
The sentences were a warning to retreat
Anger full of hate
It was that thought having a moment and a date
This was the Poet’s time in not be late
There was a mission at hand
A dimension between good and
The Poet’s own words is what kept him alive
The Poet’s compelling thoughts were like a dark alley
Emotions beyond control
No behold to take hold
Yet slowly in movement having a surely, the Poet was starting to come to his senses
There was a reflect on good and evil having no stood
But the mind was concentrating on if the Poet could
However, a Poet is going to be a Poet
The Poet being an entertainer like Spider Man Caught in a web of words
Its the Poet’s words that no one can predict
Its the movement of time like a clock tick
But it’s only the Poet’s words that will actually stick.

KING’S THRONE
preservationman May 2022
A bark that was so direct
The alert that had effect
It was cousin’s dog named King
He was King of the house
He didn’t even have a spouse
There wasn’t even a mouse
King was an obedient Dog
In fact, he was well trained
His mind was sharp
Mark my word
King was definitely man’s friend
Right to the end
King died from old age on May 1, 2022
His eyes were saying Goodbye
I tried holding back my tears
But they poured throughout the atmosphere
I always brought King a gift
My family would say “Lucky Stiff”
I called King cousin King
He was part of the family
King would always stay by me
I was always his petter
But when it came to King’s bed
He let everyone know that his bed was his lair instead
His message was “I live here”
I will miss seeing King always greeting me at door
I mean that for sure
As I write this, I am reflecting back on King’s friendly ways
King was camera shy
Didn’t like pictures that’s why
Christmas Days will never be the same
Yet I will have love for King that will always remain
Bark in praise
SIP in God’s amaze
We will see each other again one day.

THE MYSTERIOUS BLUE CLOTH
preservationman Jul 2020
It involves a big church
A Church Pastor with a big question
It could very well be a suggestion
It was a strange mysterious blue cloth
At one of the ends, the Blue Cloth looked like it had been eaten by a Moth
It seemed this Blue Cloth was significant
It certainly didn’t look at all magnificent
The Blue Cloth was placed on an old wooden table
But even the table didn’t look stable
This is far from any fable
The Blue Cloth was symbolic, but a resistance of enable
Perhaps the Blue Cloth was some form of curse
Now it probably needs a reverse
A blessing that wouldn’t come
The idea of a Blue Cloth was a cover of none
A Church congregation felt the Blue Cloth had the Devil’s ways
They also illustrated they didn’t want no part, and didn’t them nor stay
The congregation totally went astray
The Pastor and Congregation all prayed at that moment, and they were determined the Devil’s Blue Cloth wasn’t going to keep them bound
Praises in the multitude one could hear the sounds
So the Blue Cloth stayed on far away on that wooden table
Because of the Heaven’s, the Pastor and Congregation was able
The Heavenly Spirit said, “This is your getaway, and leave that Blue Cloth alone on this day”
So the Blue Cloth was never seen again
That Blue Cloth was an Evil friend
The Blue Cloth was burned up by Heaven

THERE ONCE WAS A FLYING G
preservationman May 2024
It wasn’t reflecting the alphabet
It was an object
What do you think it was?
No clue scratching your head
It wasn’t Underdog
It was a Flying Greyhound
Not a bus, but an airline called Greyhound Air
Imagine seeing a Greyhound Dog by way of an airline soaring into the friendly skies
Sometimes uncertain in angry Heavens
But it was Greyhound Air with the Greyhound Dog shown at the tail end
Maple Leaf Canadian affair
It flew in the air
Moment in time
1996, the year Greyhound Air Dog took flight
Got wings
It was a take off
Down the runway into the skies
This is how Greyhound aviation become wise
The feeling of triumphant
The establishment of change
Land and air became significant
Now you know, but always remember
Who would have thought?
Greyhound Air
A slogan could have been, “Go Greyhound Air and observe the clouds in no compare. Just enjoy our economic fare with elegant service with flair”
1997 was Greyhound Air end
History from then
A fly away
A birds descend
A flying G proved a Greyhound Dog can
Do by air as well as land being far from the sea with possibilities to see.

Her eyes like a fishnet catch
Summer heat warmth in the urges
Sweat pouring down the male buffed body
If he were to pose, the Female would faint
The sand and roaring ocean making the observation more distinct and intrigue
A push back would soon be Give in
The Female was thinking about a splash into the ocean
She would want that Buffed Guy to be her Lifeguard and give her mouth to mouth
Yet the hot sun is not making it easy
The Female is picturing in her mind of thought in censorship

Dare to dream

Convene words
Heart expels
Storms torrent the soul
Emotions cry out
A loud voice says commit suicide
Die and be forgotten
Surrounded by defeat with no victory
Story in
Approaching conclude with no soothe
Understanding and purpose collide
It’s like there’s a small boat unable to hold steady
The mind feeling like waves shifting here and there
Alone in the struggles
A sunset that quickly turns dark
No one knows what I feel
Reality is for real
A told story, but who is listening?
Anchored in one’s own theory
Mystery unknown
Tomorrow only a virtue
Words hold true
Where do I stand?
The day, moment and hour
Darkened walls with authority
The time getting shorter
Midnight could very well be the second
Death calls
I have only one breath
The hour
Time out

WHAT IS GREATNESS?

Marvelous and excellence
Commodity at its best
Gifted and talented
Opportunity to reach
Education being the teach
Abilities being extraordinary
To some, it might seem ordinary
But that is in the natural sense
How about the spiritual tense?
The Lord being excellent in whom he is
Circumstances that made him great
Now come on everyone can relate
Possibilities being realities
King and Queen’s are considered great
But when it comes to superiority comes fate
A talented Gift doesn’t come until it is developed
We are back to ability in what is to come
The focus should be desire to achieve and excelling in some
This is beyond your deepest thoughts
But when the Lord is involved, your abilities shall until
A will to try and see what you can establish
Some might say it is a trait
But it takes patience in wait
However, the whole concept comes from the Lord in behold
The Lord is your counselor in helping you build your abilities from the advice the Lord told in helping everyone to take hold.

ENEMIES CANNOT BE FOUND
preservationman Mar 2018
I was told this story relating to enemies
The title caught my attention
I felt I had to mention
A man being 98 Years Old
The age alone was a behold
But it doesn’t surround the story told
Now follow me as you catch your breath
Take in my words for all that it is worth
A Minister preached his sermon about forgiveness
There was one being a true witness
After the Minister preached, he asked the congregation if they had any enemies
No one really answered but one
Yes you probably guessed it, the old man
It was the 98 Year Old Man being among
The Old Man stated he had no enemies
The Minister and the congregation were in a daze
The answer from the Old Man had the congregation in a automatic amaze
However, that wasn’t the end to all that
What you are about to witness became a known fact
The Old Man then repeated, “He had no enemies”
So the Minister asked the question directly to the Old Man
Why do you say you have no enemies?
Everyone has at least one or two or perhaps more
The Old man responded, “They died and I out lived them all”
After that, the Minister and the entire congregation gave the Old Man a standing ovation.

The thought of Parades, Fireworks, and everything in between from Macy’s Herald Square. It was the capturing moment of the heart by a Five Year Old boy being the writer. I was a member of the MMG team known as Macy’s Merchandising Group at the Corporate level at Penn 11 Plaza in New York City. It all started when my Aunt Elmira took me to Macy’s Herald Square, and we were walking around the store, and I was startled, and my attention was drawn by a marquee eyes  pulsating moving back and forth with an array of school buses on display. The school buses in yellow and miniature toy students inside, and the roof was partially open. Unknowingly to my Aunt, I had picked up one of the buses, and held it tight in my tot hands for life. Once when my Aunt was ready to leave Macy’s. My Aunt noticed that picked up one of those school buses in my hand from the display. My Aunt told me to put the bus back, and I wouldn’t. Through my mind was shouldn’t. My Aunt even tried to take the bus out of my hand, but couldn’t. I had a strong grip for a little tot. As s tot, I was determined that the bus was going to be mine regardless. I even kicked my Aunt. My Aunt was forced to buy that bus at Macy’s. That ordeal led me to exposure to the bus industry in moving and observing.

This all led me to become a Bus Hobbyist in the preservation within the motor coach bus industry, and working for the hound being Greyhound Bus Lines, Inc. in my teenage years while I was going to college as a Package Express outside Account Executive. Macy’s opened the doors for me being the bus industry, and their headlights. An opportunity through the tunnel of intrigue. It was the open road with clear concise ideas, and the off ramp being my destination. It was the notion with presentation, and the buses in becoming my collecting structure. Who would have thought, Macy’s being my saga in becoming a bus enthusiast, and forming idealist. Thank you Macy’s for starting my first Bus Road Trip, and the chapter in stepping down memory lane and acknowledging the highway.

A craft that is mystique

First time in New York City’s history
Meteorologist find the Tornado a mystery
The Tornado touched down in the heart of Midtown
Travelling straight down Seventh Avenue
It happened during the evening rush hour
Precise at the hour
Citizens were frenzied with fright
New York City never saw a Tornado up close in plain sight
This was definitely no ordinary day
The sky darkened
Panic on the eyes of New York City
Skyscrapers that graced the skies
They were rocking back and forth being an emphasize
The winds were fierce with fury
Everything was blowing everywhere
Not your average day compared
Everyone was thinking was this the end of New York City?
Would God have pity?
Wrath of God’s power
Repent while you got time
The Heavenly Hour Glass moving like a stop watch
Observe and be obedient
Pray just pray
Suddenly the Tornado disappeared
Warning behind caution
New York City was sparred
Would another Tornado return?
Would New York City be ready?
Wait and continue to pray out
This is something to think about.

THE FRENCHIE FOUR WHEELS

What do the Eiffel Tower, French Speaking Language, French Fries and French Café Streets have in common
Enchanted Paris
The French having all that
But it is the Citroen Car Sedan being the fact
My Grandfather owned the Citroen Car Sedan, but he wasn’t French and it all happened in the USA
I remember as if it was yesterday, my Grandfather had not only had the Citroen Sedan, but he also had the Station Wagon as well
Well let me tell
The Citroen had destined specifications and design
For starters, there was no ignition key, but it was a push button for transmission, Two Marker Lights on the Left and Right in the back
I hope you are keeping track
The most important element to the Citroen was that you had to wait for the back of the car to rise
Surprised?

Yes rise
But the Citroen sedan was unique
It was small and petite
I remember my Grandmother not liking the Citroen because of the waiting period to move into drive
Once the Citroen rose in the back, it would suddenly eject back to normal and at the point it was all go
Even myself, I had to get used to the Citroen, and my taste for French flavor
After the Citroen Sedan, my Grandfather decided to trade the Citroen Sedan for a Station Wagon
It was the same concept, but slightly longer, and more wider
But there was an end to the Citroen Station Wagon in my life
My Grandfather, Grandmother, Female Cousin and myself were riding along Atlantic Avenue of the LIRR Station of East New York when all of sudden, the wheel in the back of the Citroen on the passenger’s side came completely off and laid flat on the ground
Thank God no one was hurt
So my Grandmother actually got her wish of no more Citroen
My Grandmother told my Grandfather, the next car, let it be one to get in and drive off
So the Citroen became history
But what was the other car my Grandfather got, I will let that be a mystery
So I got the French experience on wheels
The Citroen being no more
It is all memorable with a reflection galore.
