ADVENTURE–NOT JUST VACATION!
Synopsis of a week Up-state,
A visit for me and my mate…
A dead battery
Begins it you see,
And lots more left on the plate.
–
We both made the trip without grumbling,
(That fact especially humbling)…
Making good time
Before the sun’s decline,
The car not ever stumbling.
–
The next day the battery
Quit, was jumped frequently…
Next door’s garage
Wasn’t a mirage,
And changed it eventually!
–
Then my Diana and me
Spent time in Emergency…
Two separate days
In our own ways
And she came out sooner than me!
–
I visited the local train station,
Finding myself in consternation…
The camera was home–er,
I’d done me boner,
That didn’t help the situation.
–
That visit I found all three
Train engines posed for me…
The next time–not–
Just two I got,
The third went south for duty.
–
That Saturday as we were leaving,
A Railfan Day was receiving…
Special views
With the train crews,
But we had just that day for leaving.
–
My wife found her blueberry pie
While shopping for the food supply…
And got some ice cream
(Mountain prices: a scream!),
Before we waved “bye-bye”!
