Music to My Ears: The Beauty of Living in a Fairly Small Town

I jump in my car at 3:30 p.m.

and head towards downtown

on a Sunday.

I arrive at 3:45 and park in the back

of the theatre

for free.

I walk in the front door,

purchase my $10 ticket with cash

and head inside to find a seat

for the 4:00 concert

in the general admission venue.

I grab a seat in the front row

with no problem

and settle in for the show.

I enjoy the big band's big sound

and head to the ladies' room

during the final song of the program

and encounter absolutely no wait

for a stall.

I drive home and experience

no chaotic traffic jams

of any kind

and arrive with a smile.
