Sweet Reward

I went to get a bit more done;
Did not intend to stay,
But once begun, turned to such fun,
I  could not tear away.

Though some might fret at lots of sweat,
I find that I’m inure,
And though it flows whene’r I row,
I’m drawn to its allure.

When ev’ry inch is nearly drenched,
And there’s not far to go,
I’ll trade doubloons for macaroons
And bask in their sweet glow.

Thanks, Vickey, it has been a while... My granddaughter was here and I read 'Beneath A Blue Umbrella' to her - a wonderful collection of children's poems - about 30 times, and I guess it got me back in the mood a little bit :-)
