Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Beating the Storm

My husband made our travel plans - 
He likes to and I don't,
So though I never should complain,
It's doubtful that I won't.

Together we'd decided on
Two cities to explore,
But just three days in Memphis?
I was really wanting more.

Yet reservations had been made
So we left Tennessee.
It's lucky I was not in charge,
Or there we still would be.

For Mother Nature's zapped that state
With quite an icy storm
And we're here in Savannah,
Where it's short-sleeve weather warm.

Fate could be the reason
We avoided getting stuck,
Or my husband is a genius - 
But it's probably dumb luck.
