From the Heart

I have to smile as I reminisce
about my “high school days”-
So many memories of good times and bad,
of friends, exams, and plays.
My transportation in those days
was a boy’s two-wheel bike-
It served me well for many years-
no choice but to ride or hike!
I planned a “Fox and Hound Chase”-
I was the Fox, naturally.
The plan was to ride ahead and post my signs-
clues of where I might be.
I had to be fast with the “hounds” on my trail-
I was having so much fun.
My plan was to be the first at the park-
After the chase I had won!
After posting my “CLUES”
and enjoying my fantasy-
Who won the chase?
It was not ME
The designated area for the big event
was Metropolitan Park-
where all the kids went!
We were to have a picnic-
and play baseball for fun.
But the secret got out-
to my chagrin- the hounds won!
By the time I arrived at the park,
the game was well under way.
Everyone laughed as I wandered in
and joined in the play!
Ah, but chivalry rose to
the forefront by far-
as the “Hounds” insisted
I ride home in their car!
