VACATION TIME
Time off from work, but not that much
To fit in vacation with much to do.
My mind's in a whirl with possibilities,
Spinning like snow rising in wind
On a wild Colorado mountaintop,
Zigzagging like skiers descending
Quick on a slick slope,
Racing like the blue roaring river
Shimmering and leaping over beige boulders.
Shall I make a plan? Have no plan? Follow the breeze?
So much to enjoy, so little time.
CRAZY CAR
I remember that long ago Christmas
When Santa delivered my happy desire.
Running down the hall in onesie pajamas
Resting by the tree, there, my very own Crazy Car.
Big red and white swirl wheels, yellow plastic seat
Its sturdy, circular shape - my dream come true.
Dad took that car out to the driveway, no snow that day
And I gave it a whirl. Boy did I whirl, and spin, and race
Go forward, back, and stop on a dime!
Friends got their own and we all twirled together
Zooming through the seasons.
Yes, the Christmas that launched those entertaining hours
In my brand-new, nifty, wonderful, exciting Crazy Car.
