Going on a Vacation!
I’m going on a trip to the Grand Canyon! I leave early tomorrow, so just a few hours from now. I’m excited to see the beauty of a real desert. Checking it off the bucket list!
I’ll be gone all next week and maybe the one after that. Please don’t expect me to an amazing, or consistent, or even existent blogger. I will return, with a scalp full of sand and a mind full of ventifact geometry.
Maybe this is a good time to post this one. Not even sure if it counts as a poem, just food for thought.
Running out of time
How much is left
To do what we want
To do what others want
What kind of a bucket list should we have?
Here is a bucket list written by a six-year-old.
– sit in hot tub
– visit grandma and grandpa
– catch frogs
– see a movie with mom
This is how simple life can be.
She has no agenda
No outside influence
On what a bucket list should say.
Her world is small and rich.
No popular tourist destinations
No huge purchases
No revenge
No regrets.
All she wants
Is to spend her time doing what she enjoys
With people she loves.

Huh, I came here hoping for a silly conversation, and I find you’ve gone on holiday. Oh well, I hope you’re having a GRAND time at the Grand Canyon. I hope you’re not weighed down by guilt at abandoning your post, leaving me to stew in my watery juice. I hope you’re very happy. Don’t worry about me, sitting staring at a blank wall, waiting for your return. I’ll be fine. If i get bred I’ll entertain myself by twiddling my thumbs. Oh yes, I’ll keep myself busy, all right.
BTW I’ve abandoned my new blog. It didn’t feel like home, so I’m back on Making It Write.

Haha – I wrote bred instead of bored. Must be a Freudian slip.

So… Whatever you’re doing alone at home, breeding in your juices… Don’t blame me! Bahaha
I really did have a grand time. One of the tour guides told me to have a GRANDTASTIC time, repeatedly, ad nauseum. I did my best not to!! But there were an awful lot of stunning rocks. It was SO DRY THERE. My lips are still painfully chapped. Lend me some juices.

Aargh!
Her lips were undone
by the arid sun
in the fantastic, Grandtastic
Grand Canyon,
Alack and alas! I uselessly scream.
The lunatic failed to pack udder cream,
the Savior of cattle and humans too,
available from Amazon, Ebay too
a miracle salve for sore and cracked skin
whose stupendous ingredients include lanolin
a product reputed to increase hair growth.
Oh horrors! Oh no! If only she’d known.
It would be UDDERLY FUNTASTIC
if she had come with baby smooth skin
and a cute pair of hairy lips!
Needs work 🙂

LOL! I have to get a bit older and reach new heights of don’t-give-a-shit before I start leaving Udder Cream out on my counter.
Savior of humans and cattle too! Pffft
If I wash my hair with Mane and Tail, and put Udder Cream on my lips… really… What kind of a woman would that make me?
