Owl Pajamas

I was on my way to see a friend
when I decided to make a stop.
You see I was looking for owl pajamas,
and it wouldn't take long to shop.

At Target I found the pajamas
and I quickly located my size.
Then I heard someone say my name
and saw him with my very own eyes.

In the middle of the store
Who do you think I saw?
Joe Moffett standing in the aisle.
We looked at each other in awe.

Joe called, "Margy come see who's here."
Margy turned and headed back.
She looked at me long and hard
as I stood next to the pajama rack.

Margy asked, "Meredith what are you doing here?"
I showed her what was in my hands.
When she saw those bright colored pajamas,
we both began to understand.

Great minds seem to think alike.
This was no chance meeting at all.
We were both looking for owl pajamas
in Metairie at the Clearview Mall.

Gustav

The storm is raging
While my heart is sinking
And my loved ones are running away.

Driving in all different directions
In stop and go traffic
Hoping to escape Gustav today.

The television is blaring
While the newscasters are reporting
As I watch the wind and the rain.

New Orleans is trembling
While it sits there waiting
Wishing to avoid another flood today.

Everyone is praying
From where they are staying
Hoping that this time it won’t be the end.

Now we're just waiting
And listening for permission
To return to our homes once again.
