You either get a great vacation or a great story.
The best laid plans of mice and men, often go awry.
The path to adventure is not always paved in glory.
There’s no guarantee you’ll get your piece of the pie.
A trip to see the lights of New York City
can end up getting stuck in the Holland tunnel.
Instead of climbing to the top of Madam Liberty,
You’re trapped on a ferry in your best flannel.
That weekend at Disney World that should have been so magical,
has morphed into wearing mouse ears and hiding from your family.
It’s been hijacked by teenagers who are quite tyrannical.
You’re broke, now, both emotionally and financially.
Hawaii beckons and you heed the siren’s song.
Flip flops and mu mus become the fashion of the day.
But one step too many on a hike gone wrong,
Can end in the ER and never dancing the ballet.
So, you see, not all sojourns end up as equal,
some may seem like a ruinous disaster.
But keep in mind, as long as they’re not illegal
the telling of the story can elicit much laughter.
In the end, it’s all about the adventure,
the getting out of tedium and routine.
So pick your self up and from now and hereafter,
say nix to the planned and embrace the unforeseen.
