Once Upon A Trip To Florence

With Love From Mary Ogilvie:

Today we woke up at the crack o' dawn, 

there was no run, so we slept long.

The boys loaded the bus

luckily for us.

A three hour drive through Tuscany,

how enjoyable it was for me.

Everyone was asleep

and didn't make a peep.

Upon arrival in Florence

there was no chance 

of getting in our hotel

and sleeping for a spell,

so we went to the Uffizi

just to see

all the wonderful art

in this beautiful part of the world.

This was right after lunch

when we munched

upon all the food

which puts us in a good mood.

After a quick break 

we planned to make

a trip to another museum

which was not gruesome

because it held the famous David

and didn't make us livid,

because it was spell-binding

and such a finding.

At last came dinner

which was a winner.

It was so filling,

afterwards people were milling

talking about the enormity

of the deformity

of our figures

that were no longer demur.

Now it is night

and we're not feeling so light

so I think that we might

at the very sight

of our beds,

like a block of led,

fall fast asleep

and not make a peep.
