Desert Of Love

3 1 0
By billswriting

"Desert Of Love" is my new name for the  roadrunner's Saturday morning soap opera

The coyote lays in wait to ambush the roadrunner, who aware as usual, beep beeps then speeds away in a cloud of dust with a whoosh!
Leaving coyote gazing blindly, again foiled

Conjuring dark logic, which results will never be realized
He must already know this

This is more than just a hungry coyote
And sad, but it seems to be groundhog day everyday
This love/hate relationship played out on Saturday morning TV

The coyotes mind flips back and forth
Should he kill the roadrunner or possess him?
Much tension

And with the aid of Amazon, I mean Acme Products, every failed trick from the coyote's book will allow this endless saga in the "Desert Of Love"

The children just laugh, unaware of the coyote's sad, tragic obsession
The perilous drama of love lost and love denied

So stay tuned to see if the coyote really wants to annihilate the roadrunner or just be near him finally

The secret storm in his heart rages to and fro as the world turns at the edge of night. In his search for tomorrow will his puzzled mind need a guiding light?

Will nothing abate the coyote's desperate obsession?
And the roadrunner's lesson of not getting caught does not go unnoticed. As I sit with all my children watching both characters traverse this "Desert Of Love"

So until next Saturday, we bid you farewell

BEEP BEEP WHOOSH!
