Out of the Box
I was looking forward to ordering a pizza for dinner. All day I had planned to eat very little so I
could enjoy it without feeling guilty.
Finally it was 7 PM and I called in my order.
While waiting for the delivery, I sat down at the keyboard
and began working on music, thrilled that I felt a brand new song taking form
in my mind. I became totally absorbed in
cord progressions and words filling in their appropriate places. Suddenly the doorbell rang and I wondered who
might be visiting me when I already knew where most of my friends and family
members were on Sunday night.
Reluctantly I left the keyboard and went to the door. Evidently I looked a bit frightened and surprised
as the delivery man said questioningly:
“Did you order pizza?”
Once I wrote a poem about how I can turn down almost any
food in the world but pizza. Now, here I
stood, red faced and shocked at the fact I had totally forgotten my order. So as not to let my embarrassment show to the
delivery person I turned around and yelled over my shoulder to the empty
house: “Anybody here order pizza?” At that point I went to get my purse and paid
for my dinner. Oh my goodness! It Isn't like me to forget pizza! What is going on in my silly head!
