Day 23 – Wednesday December 17th 2008
Arriving in the down that is the site for our next drop,
Everything was to beautiful and huge we just had to stop.
-
We thought maybe we had driven to the wrong place again,
The town square looked like the Garden Of Eden – where time began.
-
Mom looked at Dad and said, “Is this the right town?”
“The neighbors list usually had people that were nothing but down.”
-
The town looked like a neighborhood with the best of the best,
The kind of town that usually forgets about all the rest.
-
We kept on driving – the street names were right.
When we got the the house it was bigger than our whole yard.
-
Even in the back it had a big fancy barn,
The list said the family got rich from selling the worlds best yarn.
-
Walking up the the house, a little intimidated were we,
Little Jack heard barking and got afraid that he would be chased like a little bee.
-
When we knocked on the door the family was a friendly, but definitely stuck up,
Dad said under his breath, “I think this one is going to run amuck.”
-
Looking at the tree, a single gift was bigger than the whole bag we brought,
Ginny said, ” I think we are going to get laughed at allot.”
-
After we put our gift under the tree, it rustled about,
The dog rolled his eyes and looked at us like even with him we had no clout.
-
To our surprise we were invited to dinner in the dinning room hall,
It seemed as big at the local mall.
-
The head of the house, Jim Dash, said with a sneaky smile,
“To the less fortunate – may the feed us well for quite a while!”
-
Then he looked at us ang got on an even bigger grim,
“My old poor high school pal sent you – that’s the only reason you got in,”
“I need entertainment this year … so I’ll grant your little whim.”
-
What crazy thing did our old neighbors get us in???
-
-Ginny, Little Jack, Dad, Mom
