Caren Krutsinger Poet Narrative

Wisconsin Dells with Five Girls

I heard about Wisconsin Dells for years
My husband dislikes traveling, so I opted to go
Spur of the moment with three teenage girls and two munchkins
the munchkins were also girls, about nine

One was mine; the other one belonged to a stranger
I was amazed they let me take her five hours from Chicago
But this was back in the day when strangers trusted each other
I booked a room, and off we flew; I was driving like a maniac

When we arrived, I collapsed next to the motel pool; I wanted to nap
“Missy!”  a strange man was yelling at the other nine-year-old
that nine-year-old took off toward the man,  I gave chase.
He had been her daddy’s best man

Now I knew napping was not going to happen
Wisconsin Dells has everything to do and we did it all
I spent eight-hundred-and-ninety-five dollars in three days
It was worth it; we came home on five dollars.
