It was so far.<br>Our destination was finally reached, <br>But we drove through some water, and there we were beached!<br>Peggy and I tried to help, but was no use.<br>So we walked around, and drank our juice.<br>No way could we drive out of this mud.<br>Peggy and I felt like crud.<br>Pushing and tugging, and the tires did spin.<br>This was a battle you just couldn't win.<br>To get some help the guys starting walking.<br>While Peggy and I sat there talking.<br>The heat didn't help, and neither did the bugs.<br>We drank so much juice we emptied the jugs.<br>Finally a big tractor appeared in our sight!<br>And a Farmer pulled the car out just right.<br>Too late to go fishing, with a long drive back.<br>The day was a shambles, and our moods were black.<br>But what I learned the following day,<br>And you can believe what I'm about to say!<br>Peggy phoned to tell us her state.<br>She had poison ivy, from this holiday Date!<br>And I was with her, side by side.<br>And never a bit of it on my hide!<br>It was a Holiday I'll never forget,<br>It's one I'll remember, you can just bet.</p></b></font></blockquote></blockquote><hr color=0000ca size=3><center><font size=2 face=arial><b><a href=http://www.isavo.net/poem/sk6.htm>This Poem's Index Page 1</a><br><a href=http://www.yensa.net/poem/sk6.htm>This Poem's Index 2</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com/poems.htm>Poetry Website</a><br><a href=http://www.saviodsilva.com>Saviodsilva</a><br><a href=http://www.isavo.com>Isavo Site</a></b></font></center><SCRIPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=http://www.saviodsilva.org/r/fantasy.js></SCRIPT></body></html>
