The Sire’s Misfire

The Sire’s Misfire

"No matter what happens, travel gives you a story to tell." (Jewish Proverb)

Last Resort -
A Limericked Sway at a Breaking Away

A numbly nonsensical dad
Lost sight of the blessings he had.
He booked his dream trip;
Well, more like a slip.
By then it was too late. Too bad.

He planned an excursion deluxe,
A chance to display his big bucks,
But left his kids home –
His wife all alone –
And now he has lost them. Aw, shucks.

Sojourning with clan from his ex,
He sought to redeem ills complex.
But souvenirs bought
Bring mercy to naught.
Forgiveness is far more complex.

The cycle continues, full tilt.
The carousel spins, adding guilt.
Thus, aiming for fun,
It’s all come undone.
He’ll live in the house that he built.
