FIELD TRIP

embarking on a field trip
was my junior high school class
a jaunt to an amusement park
we had an all day pass
.
tremendously excited
with our hearts about to pop
that's when the bus let out a moan
and sputtered to a stop
.
the bus could not continue
it was finished for this drive
and they had no idea
when a replacement might arrive
.
we glumly grabbed our lunches
when the verdict was revealed
and had ourselves a picnic
in a nearby empty field
.
we watched as dancing butterflies
made patterns in the sky
watched movies of the clouds we saw
as they went rolling by
.
we found a little winding creek
that led us to a pond
a few of us went swimming
but we left our clothing on
.
the world of mother nature
will eclipse the realm, man made
we learned that lesson very well
although, at first dismayed
.
today we took a journey
as by now, i'm sure you're hip
and yes, we only saw a field
but man, it was a trip
