BARNYARD TO THE BAHAMAS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #11

when we left on our trip

we did not expect a deer, a llama and a

hopeless foul mouthed parrot to accompany us

upon our arrival Minnesota Felt like Florida

in the throws of one of her hottest days

and times ten no less!

just to think going all the way up north

for a nice cool, quiet fall vacation

for a nice change

only to get there and feel the inescapable heat

like found down deep in the south

we thought to ourselves all at once

how so ironically queer

the llama felt ill

the parrot squawked and complained constantly

and well, lets not even begin on the deer

but I will say this

he must surely have some strain of mule's blood

in him

for his little white rear never seen even a

minute of sun

the whole entire time we were there

was hardly a vacation at all and more like

taking a 'Barnyard To The Bahamas'..............

(forgot to write in date written this would have

been written sometime in 1993 or 1994)
