1st I will & then I won't/I'll do & then I don't

So. Elizabeth Taylor and Geraldine Ferraro have passed through the veil between us and the violet Blue Beyond. And total trembling nervous wreck I was, driving home from away off yonder, after a few days of talking to young Kentuckians. Or specifically the part where the snow thickened round about the wide Mississippi, where I was doing my best to thread my way from I-64 to westbound I-70, along with many a vehicle piloted by drivers as dim as their cars. You'd think that their headlights were coin-operated! Sheesh! So grateful am I to be home again, home again. We're talking real guardian angle stuff.
