Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Picking a Date

Try to pick a date to meet
A few retired friends
And find it near impossible
For everything depends…

On travel plans or visits
With the kids from out-of-town
Or babysitting grandkids
Or the dentist (for a crown)…

Or tennis games or theater tix
Or else a craft-type class
In beading or in quilting 
Or in knitting or stained glass.

How wonderful to have the time
Without a job to tether
But how complicated just to plan
A day to get together!

Maurice Rigoler January 17, 2017 at 10:47 AM How true, and a great ending that ties the whole poem together. For me the worse part of travelling is the preparation, making sure I've left nothing necessary behind (like my visa or my wallet or my plane tickets!). With so much to do who is your ghost writer Ilene! Thanks for reading my cemetery poem. / M
