Poetry Thursday on Monday

 

  


Once again Angel Sammys and and Teddys Pawetatonc have challenged us to write a poem about the picture below. Real life made us not be able to finish our poem until today. Please to Enjoy.



 


Bob took Evelyn for his wife

And they shared a life.

Through good times, happy days, trouble and strife

They reminded people of Thelma Lou and Barney Fife


Every year they talked about going on an adventure

If at the school where he worked Bob could get tenure

But he invested in some unworthy ventures

And promised his mom we would pay for her dentures


Then the kids were born

And to the babies’ lives devotion was sworn

Adventures with kids were not the norm

And every dollar they made were earmarked for the fawns


Then it was time to pay for college

To further their childrens’ knowledge

And the only adventure was dropping the kids off up north and enjoying the foliage.

They had put adventures on hold when they hit 60 they closed that page


For their 50th anniversary their kids decided to fulfill their parents dreams

When the elderly couple learned they were going to Wally World their face did beam

When they went to the airport the family gathered at the airport, what a scene

And the parents left promising to report about everything they had seen


They went to Wally World with Mom in her bonnet

And they got in line for the drop comet

But on the way up there was a break in the grommet

And the swaying car caused them to cover one another in vomit


They kissed the pavement when they reached the ground

And neither wanted to stick around

They headed home where they were safe and sound

On their trip the desire to never leave the house is what they found
