Trip To Kentucky

On our way to visit Kentucky, We were decidedly unlucky. Three flat tires in two days, Resulting in delays, Made our holiday trip quite yucky! To make matters worse it was raining. Changing tires in the rain can be draining. My husband was soaked, My frustration was stoked, Looking back it was entertaining. When we arrived at our destination, We were filled with joy and elation. Slept on an air mattress, That flattened beneath us, We need a break from our vacation! 1/16/20 A true abbreviated story of our Christmas trip in December 2019.

Kim, Seeing the humor in life has led you to write a very entertaining limerick. Thanks for sharing! - Gail

Thank you, Gail! Life would be rather gloomy if you can't see the humor in life's minor troubles.

Ha ha... I love this Kim! There's a saying, "if it can go wrong, it will!" Usually it's the most frustrating things today that cheer us up tomorrow when we can look back and laugh ;)

Oh my! This was unfortunate, yet humorous to look back upon. I have many times like this that were so difficult and I laugh at them now. Great writing. Thanks for sharing! :)

At Christmas time, be thankful for rain and not snow! Changing tyres in the snow is no fun at all! Enjoyed!

We're able to laugh about it now, but at the time it wasn't very funny. The air mattress was funny. Thank you for your comment, Rama!

Breathtaking experience in a beautiful humoristic limerick. I liked reading about this holiday experience. However, the ending was a surprise, the air still playing you many rounds even with an air mattress. Thanks for the pleasant grin
