Bad Things Happen to Good People

Following GPS directions
he made a sudden U-turn
into a speeding Continental
while doing a woman a favor
to drive her home after church.
She died and he metamorphosed
into a quadriplegic in a wheelchair.
Searching for a mate on the internet,
he found romance with a lovely woman
who fell in love with his fine character.
Good things can happen to good people.
