In an Easter Egg Shell

Away to Elk County we go

Lots and lots of rain but thankfully no snow

To celebrate Easter was our main goal

Spent the weekend in a cabin we call a hole

Four dogs whom were muddy the whole entire time

Thanks to Mom we didn’t have to spend a dime

Colored eggs and played some games

Boy this Easter poem sure sounds lame

When it came time to go

Mom’s Escape said no, no, no

Broke down and stranded in the middle of nowhere

Only to find a few ticks in my hair

Now all four dogs and humans in one truck

Holy shit, what the f@#k?

The Escape is now three hours away

Til it’s fixed, it’s there to stay

Easter weekend was all but boring

Elk County, Pennsylvania you’re always alluring

Broken down with puddles the pup

As John Steinbeck wrote, “Even the best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.”

This weekend was no exception. After planning a trip to our family cabin for months, it rained, stormed and our car broke down. The best part wasn’t even planned. While broken down, my boyfriend and I spent three hours on the side of the road waiting for my parents to find the right car part. We played baseball, walked our dogs and even played games that we had packed up for the trip home. Even though this was not part of our well thought out plans, it was defiantly the most fun part of the trip.
