He Sure Had Held Her
He sure had held her in such high esteem
Which was long way to fall so it did seem
Not only that she now was love of his life
Always trying to take her for his wife.
Looks like close to London are getting near
Making sure we did not forget our rain gear
For land and place that forever will be wet
Ain't no way any more it could possibly get.
My lovely betrothed with me had brought
Who invariably always means such a lot
But will the raging rain ever disappear
So we can go outside and start to cheer.
Not only that how cold it has been and been
Would we want to go back to London again
Or remain at home where we are wide awake
And bright sun both of us is sure to bake.
We had left London with much remorse
It was as if we were ridding a dark horse
Who they distinguished as being a drug user
And at Kentucky Derby ended up being a loser.
To lift in London we waited for all of the fog
Ended up having a meal with Hole in the Hog
Was tough and chew much effort was exerted
Then we took off from London leaving it deserted.
James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran
PS. Hope our trip to London doesn't end up this way.
