This poem is for Lily, our youngest granddaughter who is turning 21, August 2. Her older sister Bella, who is stationed here in the Air Force, made this trip her birthday present. Barb and I could not resist celebrating with the youth just one more time. Thus this poem written in anticipation of the fun.

Twenty-one in Vegas (with love to Lily) Franklin Price 7/31/2018 We're waiting here in Vegas For the Airplane bringing you To celebrate adultery That comes on August two Adultery's not the word to use But I thought it would be fun After all you'll be in Vegas When you're turning twenty- one A Disney World for grown-ups A time for you to let it go What happens when in Vegas Stays in Vegas, don't you know

A terrific poem. Our two oldest daughters treated our youngest daughter to a Las Vegas trip when she turned 21, so this makes me smile.

I hope our granddaughter has as good a time as it sounds your daughters had in giving and accepting such a gift. Tomorrow is the big day. Thanks for visiting
