End of Summer Hike- Mystic
With summer coming to an end very soon
I went on a long hike to escape my feelings of doom
my trusty walking cane helping me with my stride
doubling as a weapon in case I spied a suspicious guy,
Inhaling the jasmine as I walked along the path
wanton bees buzzed too close by my head and my calf
the warm breeze and lingering birds got me thinking
whether or not they used morse code when they were blinking,
Coming to a clearing I decided to take a break
pushing my cane in the ground I used it as a stake
with the top tier of it holding my comforting cup of tea
and the bottom tier my trail mix scones for sudden bursts of energy,
At one with nature I picnicked thinking I was alone
enjoying every savory sip and bite of my trail mix scones
wondering why I suddenly felt twinges of discomfort
an army of ants on my scones had quickly descended,
Jumping up fast I got up just in time
before the intrusive ants could take another bite of my behind
gathering my things together I hightailed it back home
praying the Hitchcock like birds would leave me alone.
