RISING ABOVE ME

THIS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I EVER HAD TO DO.
RISING ABOVE ME THAT IS!

WHEN I DECIDED TO WRITE THIS BLOG SOME 90 PLUS DAYS AGO
IT WAS TO RISE ABOVE ALL THE SILLY STUPID BAD THINGS
THAT HAPPEN EVERY DAY...

I WAS PUT TO THE TEST THE OTHER DAY WHEN I WENT
TO GET MY CAR WASHED, THEY ALWAYS ADVERTISE A 3 DOLLAR
CAR WASH. SO, I GO AND THE MAN SAYS 5 DOLLARS
SO I THINK OK IT'S OVER AND I PAY THE 5 DOLLARS

ANYWAY, THE REASON I'M GETTING MY CAR WASHED IS
I WENT THROUGH MUD. SO, I PULL UP AND THE MAN
POWER WASHES ONLY ONE SIDE OF MY CAR BECAUSE
ANOTHER WORKER IS POWER WASHING A PART ON THE
OTHER SIDE, I'M THINKING GREAT!

SO I BITE MY TONGUE, AND I RISE ABOVE AND GO THROUGH
THE CAR WASH. WHEN GET OUT OF THE CAR I START DRYING
OFF MY CAR. AS I AM DOING THIS ONE OF THOSE GUYS
THAT SPINS THE SIGNS WALKS BY,

AND THAT'S WHEN I SEE IT!
THE SIGN HE IS CARRYING SAYS 3 DOLLAR CAR WASH.
SON OF A ( BAD WORD )!

THAT'S WHEN I FELT THE NEW YORKER IN ME COMING OUT,
FROM THE VERY BOTTOM OF MY SOUL.
I WAS ABOUT TO LOSE IT!

THAT IS WHEN I THOUGH OF THAT GUY!
THE ONE THAT POWER WASHED ONE SIDE OF MY CAR.
IF I WAS TO COMPLAIN, THE ONLY PERSON THAT
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IN TROUBLE IS THAT GUY!

BY THE WAY, THERE WAS STILL MUD ON ONE SIDE OF MY CAR!

SO ONE BAD CAR WASH AND 2 DOLLARS LESS IN MY POCKET.
I ROSE ABOVE MY RIPPED OFF FEELING, GOT IN MY CAR,
AND DROVE AWAY....

THAT GUY DID NOT KNOW IT, BUT I MADE HIS DAY AND MINE!
