We did our annual outing,
My little girls and me…
We acclaimed our annual shouting
When things were tight and we…

Well, we traveled into tomorrow
With hope of our future clear
For given age and given sage
We’re never sure not to fear…

Results of our outing will transpire
Within a day or two
But now we shall conspire
And reap [pray not] what others rue…

Freedom’s window and all that is
Of what shall transpire at tomorrow’s door…
A sun’s shining, a moment’s quiz
Could we ask for anything more?

~*~

That’s it…just a reminder…ladies…
And it you don’t get it…? That’s okay.
You’re probably too young.

Boys/men? If YOU get it…then remind
Your ladies…

And that’s all that Sunshine wrote.

as a grandfather who has only 1 grandaughter (and she lives in Romania) whom he rarely sees, I can relate...my girls are both teaching school in Romania, so I guess I can add my 12 year old granddaughter to them and refer to them all as my girls (I will get to see them all in June and we are looking forward to an outing just like you described...thanks for sharing

I do believe the girls are overwhelming the men just now...as "the girls" are referring, of course, to an annual mammogram.

Guys...this is true enough. Get your gals into those annual mammos'...we may scream a little...or ouch a little, or even arch unnaturally....

but they need to be done!

Dear Karilea, you're like good wine, you
are getting better with age. A very enjoyable post. I loved it. Take care.

I got it too Karilea
and I am pleased to say, I already got "it"
I refer to it as my "annual smash and run"

very very creative!

Dear Karilea, a lovely poem my friend and
I do hope you won't take offence at the word I added. Love and a big hug.
