No trip today
Discussion:
To Chuck and to Carole ~ you threw me a pen
You put onus on me ~ to write something again
So who am I? ~ Well it's kind you would care
To hear or read anything ~ I put on the air
I'm just an old duffer ~ not looking for fame
I think better for all ~ you don't know my name
Past forty was I ~ when I first put on skis
In the decades since then ~ I've wrecked both knees
My feet are like castors ~ they go where they will
Panic sets in ~ at the top of each hill
I never got too good ~ at steering my skis
But somehow I managed ~ to not hit the big trees
Still I go out there ~ less often, less far
At times I feel nervous ~ when I can't see my car
My friends know I love them ~ tho seldom I go
Not fair to impede them ~ cause I am so slow
My wife is still with me ~ she goes where I go
She helps me get up ~ when I'm flat on the snow
But enough of self pity ~ my whine is now done
I'm going out to claim ~ my share of the fun
My memories are priceless ~ I know yours are too
We're totally lucky ~ to do what we do
My wife is my soulmate ~ (I trust her for feed)
Warm home and good woman ~ are all that I need.
