Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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

Twenty-one in Vegas
(with love to Lily)

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
