Some R Bashed

I had the grandkids here today,

I thought ‘twould be a time for play,

The water slide enticed them first,

Until the garden hose just…burst,

They roamed about the pirate ship,

Then Willow fell and split her lip.

Foam swords in hand they crossed the 'heath',

Till William got one in the teeth,

Then Lizbeth missed the climbing frame,

And Leah got all of the blame,

Hazel, Bronwyn, Linney, too,

Lost the tug-o-war, got soaked through,

Emma stood and watched, amazed,

While all her cousins acted crazed…

Quincy, thankfully too small,

To get her small self smashed at all,

And all the older cousins, too,

Too wise to wade into the zoo!

It’s peaceful now, they’ve all gone home,

No more as pirates do they roam,
Some were bruised, some bloodied, too,
With all the antics they got through,

And I've learned with all this balderdash,

Just what is meant by ‘Summer Bash’!

We friends of Karen happ'ly meet,

To rhyme with words. A challenge greet,

So while you're on the 'net today,

Stop by and see what our friends say!
