Memorial Day 2010---A Poem!



By Jeff Gish (my husband)






The doppler radar
forecasted rain
but we chose not to listen
...bring on the pain!

The rain came around
but we got a little sun
and finally our bikes' cranks
got pedaled, pushed & spun

We saw some wildlife...
an inquisitive chipmunk fellow
most interesting however,
was a spider clad in yellow

We enjoyed nature's beauty
we saw the towns & farms
we went coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs
we robbed mallows from "Junky Charms"

Bought some wet wood
from the ranger station
the billows of smoke at our camp
could have covered a small nation

Abby loved her bike trailer rides
and super book adventures
luckily her top bunk fall
didn't leave her with dentures

Sammy got to pee in the woods
as all boys like to do
as much as playing in the fire
or camping without shoes

Mom and Dad smiled more than not
slowing life down and grasping all we've got

It's one of our favorite getaways
to visit Heyburn Cabin
we hope you all relax and have
as much fun as we are havin'

Jeff wrote this poem in the cabin journal before we packed up and went home after our stay over the long weekend. I am a little late in getting it posted, but still wanted to share it. If you want to read more of Jeff's writing, you can visit his blog about the moving industry.
