Notes About The Poem

don't you just want to escape????

The Epic Getaway

Lets plan an epic getaway
We’ll have to go on foot.
We’ll need to take this hairspray
it’s important how we look.

We’ll need some Dr. Pepper
dehydration is the worst.
We’ll take these Disney glasses
so that we don’t die of thirst

We’re facing certain hardships
so I’ll bring potato chips.
The wild is full of harshness
ooo! Let’s not forget the dip.

It’s important to move serpentine
as we stealthily make our leave.
Be sure and grip the pizza
as we deftly bob and weave.

This makeup bag’s gigantic
but I can’t live without that!
Let's not forget this blanket
and we better bring the cat.

I’m glad that we’ve decided
to start our lives anew.
There’s no one I like better
here, take these iPads too.

As we gather up the needed
I glance at the TV - AAAwwwwww.
“Ladybug’s” coming on! we say excitedly.
“Jinx” we say together, and it’s as clear as it can be
that we can take a little break and not go immediately.
