Memorial Day Weekend

BUS TRIP 2003 POEM

Judy Scherrer

This year we started very early
Got up a little after five
Started down the road from Gravois
Wondering when we would arrive?

We stopped for lunch in Indiana
Took an hour or so to eat
Janene gave Sam an ice cream
And some dripped on his feet.

We arrived at the Ramada in Lexington
Took a short time to settle in
Went to the Coach House Restaurant
And ate the best prime rib.

We boarded the bus for Harrodsburg
The oldest town in Kentucky
Most thought the route was scenic
Others say we were pretty lucky!
Breakfast was great the next morning
And later the Kentucky Horse Park
Gave us a chance to learn more about equines
Even though the sky turned dark.

Dinner was pork and gravy
We were very casually dressed
We arrived at the outside pavilion
And proceeded to dance at our best.

Another fun afterparty
And some very creative skits
Finished off our day
And was another super hit!
