Sorry folks for my recently not reviewing...been enjoying my short vacation...e


Poem Artwork


 


On vacation have I been,


Hope no reviews is not a sin,


Sleeping and gallivanting,


So far my only crime,


Besides not writing much in the way of rhyme…


 


To the National Aquarium in Baltimore we went,


The day quite nice, a bit breezy, heaven sent,


Enjoyed ourselves with great amounts of gusto,


Ate dinner at the Hard Rock, had to leave Rufuz home,


The only thing of the day that I do resent…


 


Rene & I always have together fun,


Each day we go out, does the last one outdone,


A new duster jacket & leather hat,


Both of which fit like a glove,


Just as does Rene’s & my for each other, love…

Sounds wonderful, Bro - but I sure hope you didn't swipe any of those fish at the aquarium for a sushi snack on the ride home. I know how you like snacking while driving.
