People are talking about leaving the
country in light of recent political outcomes,
moving such discussions to the top of their
'must do' list, poet Uly Poe among them.
Anticipate the starting gun...?
With A******* back, it must be done.
I'll Break (or tie) the record for
the fastest mile (3:44*).
I'll Cut 'n' run. (Do not give Chase;
just trust: I must depart this place.)
I'll Dash one hundred yards -- nay: more.
Don't track me Down: I'm out the Door.
I'll Exit East (northeast at least).
I'll deadhead -- tho' not (yet) deceased.
You'll Eat my dust. (Apologies:
here's hoping you'll avoid a sneeze.)
I'll Fly the coop. I'll Flee the scene.
Nor will I tell Folk where I've been.
I'll Get me Gone. I'll Go alone.
I'll disconnect from web 'n' phone.
(And, passing 'Go,' I'll Grab some dough:
two hundred smackeroos -- Hi, Ho!)
I'll Hit the bricks. I'll Hie me Hence.
(None's needed like -- before or since.)
I'll Imitate ol' Aesop's hare
and Jog (tho' slow) aboard shank's mare.
I'll Kiss all Kith 'n' Kin "So Long!"
I'll Leg it. (Please don't get me wrong:
I'm Making haste while yet shines sun.
Once comes the rain, too late to run.
* Actually the record for the fastest
mile is 3:43.13 set on July 7, 1999 by
one Hicham El Guarrouj of Morocco.
