Give It a Go
Give it a go, try something new
This tale told in simple verse, view
Compare its rhythm, rhyme and flow
Try something new…give it a go
Gone fishing, the sign did say
On that blustery summer’s day
We stood; we waited, still wishing…
The sign did say, gone fishing
The drive was long, the car was stuffy
Eighty miles to visit Muffy
To find him gone seemed so wrong
The car was stuffy, the drive was long
So the kids cried, they were very tired
The surprise visit, uninspired
Back in the car, the kids were plied
They were very tired, so the kids cried
Crying children, sighing parents
A long drive home; undercurrents
Of Frustration; all chasten
Sighing parents, crying children
There just may be a moral here
When visiting, both far and near
Call to see if your host is free
A moral here … there just may be
