Going to the Convention

Gonna be gone a few days, gang. I'm going to a convention. I wrote these words in anticipation of the weekend.


 

 
Going to a convention
hip, hip, and a big hurray.
Got to get all fired up
there’s no time for me to play.
 
Sitting in a seat up high
speakers are very small
I have to watch the speakers
on a big screen on the wall.
 
The seat assigned where I sit
proves to be a great trial.
Everyone seems to believe
it’s just another aisle.
 
My behind is getting tired
and I really have to go
but by the time I get there
you know I’ll be too slow.
 
The food is so expensive
still my body needs to eat.
If it wasn’t for the high price
it would be a tasty treat.
 
I get too weary to sit
and I’m much to tired to stand.
There’s a big bed in my room
which feels like it’s made of sand.
 
I’ll be going home soon
At least that’s my intention
then I’ll talk about how much
I enjoyed the convention

LOL Larry that is how we all think. We don't sleep in a comfortable bed and we try to watch dollars, yet we talk of all the enjoyment we had.

Newfie Hugs, Rose

Hope that convention recharge your batteries, but judging for your smile I don't think they need any.
Enjoy the trip my friend, a couple of ice cold Coors and that sand bed will you feel like you are in Waikiki!

Georg

PS. here in the Den I have some low life relatives that knock my beer, like up north they have fire water like us.
