Craps.....[short; Nature Observations; National Park; My Marriage] Poem by Bri Edwards

Craps.....[short; Nature Observations; National Park; My Marriage]

Rating: 4.1


Our recent driving trip through western states has ended.
In Yellowstone I said something to my wife which offended
her because it seemed to show lack of interest in what we did.
I referred to the thermal features as 'crap'. So? I'm just a kid.

How many geysers and hot springs must I endure?
They are dangerous and the water's not even pure!
Besides, I saw some of it forty-nine years ago.
I remembered Old Faithful from then; my brain's not THAT slow.

Well, my wife was not impressed by my choice of words.
It's like I downgraded the wonders to the level of turds.
So I apologized, sort of, and off we went some more
to view Yellowstone's wonders....though some are a bore.
Hee hee 

I saw Yellowstone as a kid also. I would enjoy seeing it again.
