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 ---------- aaxa rhyme scheme with 4-syllable lines

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?"

Traipsing.....traipsing.....next you'll be lollygagging.....which could lead to meandering

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