Love is Blind

Lonely, with no where to go and no one to be with, until suddenly I could see the light since the rain was gone and i could see clearly now. As she walked up to me and the light followed her around all I could think about is how she was going to think i was one one slicer short of a loaf, a few cards short of a full deck. As i was still in a daze she said " A penny for your thoughts?" which completely caught me off guard because at the end of the day a penny is all I ever had. As I stammered over my words she saw I was hesitant and said "Aw, come on, no pain no gain, as they always say!". As i contemplated who the people who said that were she grabbed me by the arm and swept me off my feet as she ran like the wind towards the carnival in town. Despite my continued efforts to get her to stop dragging me to wherever she was going by yelling "hold your horses!", I felt like my words were falling on deaf ears, or like i was beating a dead horse. Suddenly a man jumped out of the shadows and said " I'm gonna clean your clock!" before jumping on me. Unfortunately the odd woman kept running, and suddenly I was fighting for my life. Finally i managed to beat the man, who apparently had more bark than bite, but I still only won by the skin of my teeth. Suddenly I realized that we had stopped, and the woman was in my face. She said "It's time to take a ride on the wild side!" and despite the fact that I wanted to hunker down, I decided to go with her in case she managed to stir up a bee's nest. Surprisingly the rest of the night wasn't so bad, with two shakes of a lamb's tail we were running all around the carnival having the time of our lives. In the end, we both ended up kicking some butt and chewing bubblegum, but we had to part ways on account that she was like a bull in a china shop and managed to break every ride. So at the end of the day, when the police carted us off in different cars, we gave each other a wink, because as they say, love is blind.
