Things never change

I run out
to get the paper
this morning.
It is still a
little dark
out and the traffic
has not started on the
road that I cross.
I have on a tank
top and shorts.
Hmmm?
I can make it.
I look both ways.
Nobody.
I run across the
road and grab my
paper.
As I go to run
across the road
a line of construction
trucks
is coming.
I can not beat
them.
Crap.!!
Oh well , I think
I am an old lady
they Will not notice
me.
As each car goes
by they
slow down
and hoot
and holler.
Good Morning!!
Hey baby..Like those
legs.
One guy screams
out Extra, Extra!!
As my face is
red. I am waiting
for the line of
workers to
go by.
As they go
I look both ways..
Nobody..
Of course not.
My neighbor comes
out of his house
and smiles.
Hey Beautiful..Was
that you stopping
traffic?
I guess, I say embarrassed
trying to get to my porch
with the paper.
You know how to start
a guys day.. he smiles
and drives off.
Really??!! I think
to myself...
Things never change.
