Quotes

●We live in a fast-paced society. Walking slows us down.---Robert Sweetgal

●Life is getting faster, no doubt about it. We rush everything: we eat fast food, have quickie sex, drive like maniacs, and compete hard for fast-paced jobs. We wish to slow down and slack off, but we're afraid we'll fail. —Library Journal Review

●Life is already too short to waste on speed. — Edward Abbey

Drive Thru    by Nancy Ness

I rose this morn with much to do—

Hopped in the car and off I flew.

No time for breakfast, that I knew—

Glad “Dunkin DoNuts” has Drive Thru.

In need of dollars, quite a few—

Went to the bank teller’s Drive Thru.

Then filled all my prescriptions too—

At “Pharmacy’s” brand new Drive Thru.

Some bills to mail in box of blue—

Off to the “Post Office” Drive Thru.

Picked up the laundry cleaned anew—

Just stopped at “Suds & Duds” Drive Thru.

With lunchtime near, my tummy's queue—

Got a “Big Mac” from the Drive Thru.

The car by then was low on fuel—

Full serve at “Shell”, just Drive on Thru.

And when they fill the tank for you—

Your car’s washed free—in their Drive Thru.

Library books were overdue—

The curbside slot is a Drive Thru.

Then videos must go back too—

“Blockbuster” has their own Drive Thru.

In need of milk and bread, I knew—

I stopped at “Dairymaid’s” Drive Thru.

The family asked “Please, can we do—

The ‘Drive In’ show when dinner’s thru???”
