Backfired

 My Husby is a kind man, given oft to kindly acts,

Doing things for family—and me—in point of fact,

So, Random acts of kindness may cross others on their way,

But Random Acts of Kindness come to me most every day!

Pandemic’s end’s the signal of our travel once again,

And Husby’s started planning for the where’s and for the when’s.

This week, he bought a world map, stuck it on the kitchen wall,

Then turned and grinned at me, said, “Time to heed ol’ travel’s call!”

In kindness, handed me a dart, said, “Hon, you can decide,

Exactly where we’ll go, and for a little while, abide,

Just give the dart a throw, my dear, wherever it does land,

Well, that is where I’ll take you, be it rock or snow or sand!”

I smiled at him and took the dart and carefully, did aim,

(Hoping for lands warm and bright, that tourists acclaim!)

I guess I should have better aimed, moved to the right a smidge,

It looks like holidays for us will be behind the fridge!

Cause Mondays do get knocked a lot,
With poetry, we all besought
To try to make the week begin
With gentle thoughts,
Perhaps a grin?
So Karen, Charlotte, Mimi, me
Have crafted poems for you to see.
And now you’ve read what we have wrought…
Did we help?
Or did we not?

Next week, you won't hear us grumble...

Cause we're discussing being humble!

Thinking of joining us for Poetry Monday?

We'd love to welcome you!
