Rollerblading again

[indigo_rose99]

There are pink elephants dancing in my head.  Because when there are not, I start to think about how fast I'm going down the gentle slope.  Cute turquoise elephants doing jumping jacks.  I don't feel so stable going this fast.  Lime green elephants doing the Mambo.  And what is my friend talking about?  I should pay attention to what she is --- No I shouldn't!  Look forward!  Concentrate on feet!  Ecru elephants belly dancing.  I think my feet are wobbling. Am I going too fast to consider braking? I think I'm going too fast.  Lavender elephants making O's with their arms.  I hate this!!!  Why oh why was I foolish enough to agree to it again? 

Only with the aid of the elephants do I make it the whole 6.2 miles unscathed.

I can stand the sight of worms,
and itsy microscopic germs.
But technicolor pachyderms
are really too much for me!

I am calm when things are strange
when things are queer, when things are quaint
But seeing things I know just ain't
really can give you an awful fright!
What a sight!
Take 'em away!
Take 'em away!
I'm afraid. I need your aid. Pink elephants on parade!

You really are very brave. (Do you really think about elephants?! Hey, whatever gets you through... I should try that at work... :-)

Yes. I really do.

You need this at work? Dare I ask?
