        Impromptu Vacation! ~ Part One 

 

 

           For Us Kids In San Diego 

           School’s Not Yet Started, So We Go 

           And Hit the Open Road ‘Fore Dawn, 

           Off to Utah’s Bryce and Zion!  

 

           Here Standing On the Cavern’s Floor 

           Looking Up I Catch What’s In Store 

           To Know Mom’s To Know We’re Climbin' 

           “Oh My God!”, I Hear Me Chime In! 

 

           Not Sure When I Climbed Audrey’s Back! 

           Good Thing She’s As Strong As a Pack 

           Mule!  And I Know If Need Arose, 

           She’d Carry Me!  ‘Stead We Join Toes! 

 

           And Like Dumas’ Three Musketeers 

           We Raise Our Voice In Heartfelt Cheers! 

           First Step of Ten Million Paces  

           Means We’re All Off To the Races! 

 

           Don’t Know How Many Stories High 

           We Climbed Each Day, Or Even Why! 

           I Do Know When I Saw That View, 

           I Felt a Pride That Few Kids Knew! 

 

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All!

Makes Sense to Me!

Vol. 1  Chap. 597

              Makes Sense to Me! 

 

 

      When Billionaires Make Space Their Haunts, 

      Anoint Themselves As Astronauts 

      Are They Saying, By Their Action, 

      Space Travel’s a Mere Transaction! 

 

      To Boldly Go Where No Rich Dude 

      Has Gone and Packed His Attitude, 

      Waved It Smugly In Our Faces! 

      I Too Think of Distant Places! 

 

      Roswell’s Area 52 

      Makes Sense to Me and Might to You! 

      They’re Post~War Martian Tall ETs 

      From Far~Off Aristocracies!  

 

      If I Woke Up and Discovered 

      Ticket Numbers I’d Uncovered 

      All Matched the Mega Millions Drawn! 

      That Would Make an Exciting Dawn! 

 

      But First and Before I Indulged 

      Before My Wallet Grew and Bulged 

      I Hope I’d Plan to Take Up Alms 

      This World Could Use Some Soothing Balms! 

 

Your Grampa Sure Loves Y’All!
