My legs are sodden.
I want to stay hidden in shade
laying about
and enjoy this bed I’ve made.
I seek to stay home
but the quest goes on.

The cocoon of this comfortable couch
has its siren song
but I have a rock hard place
to visit tonight.
I have people to view
places to see
and leagues to go before I beach.

Soon
I will venture off
to the furthest lands of Brook
where I shall experience creatures
and prizes
I could not imagine
had I stayed home
in my safe and luxurious kitchen.
My kitchen with fresh lamb
and hot dogs
and donuts…

Maybe I’ll just stay home tonight.
Rome wasn’t built in a day
and Troy didn’t fall overnight.
Maybe there will be something to do
tomorrow.
