Traipse Through the Wood

The radar’s plain
It’s going to rain
And I’ll be stuck
Inside again

Or maybe not
They’re wrong a lot
You never know
It’s worth a shot

Though wet, it’s warm
Imparts no harm
Does entertain
A certain charm

Wet’s understood
She thinks it good
So Miss and I
Traipse through the wood

I love it, Jeff. Not so much in a long, long time, but as children we lived in the woods. There's simply something magical about the woodlands and hiking. Well, you of all people understand this, Jeff. Thanks. Hmm...does "traipse" rhyme with "Christmas?"

lollygag - when you put the finished stick too far back in your throat?
