"Could Be"

You should have heard the "Groaning"

when I announced in the darkness this morning

"I forgot to turn the water off, last night"

"It could be"  that I didn't get the usual lecture,

because I was the one holding the flash light,

while JS and the welder were fixing the tractor.

"Maybe"  I didn't get the usual lecture, because I was

 the one driving with flashers going, behind said contractor

 as he drove the tractor home in the dark,

 with no tail lights or reflectors.

"It's possible"  I didn't get the usual lecture, because I 

was the good wife, who showed up when his forklift 

over heated and he needed a ride.

Plus two trips to town and to Gridley for tractor parts.
