"Road Trip"
by Max PhineasWent to see my third cousin-
twice
removed
(Removed, I ask, from what?)
License Plate Game
soon repels my interest
and the rolling marshmallows overhead
graced the sky with a dreamy un-reality.
(sister pokes fun at my knowledge of the clouds)
Cow country
evokes a hearty
"MOOOO"
from my father, the family Peanut Gallery.
Mom sings aloud to
Paul Simon
And Maya
the beloved Collie
hovers faithfully at my feet,
gingerly gnawing at my shoelace.
I vow
Never Again
will I complain about this life. 11/02/2006 Author's Note: I couldn't ask for anything more.
