The Twenty-Third Escapade
by Belinda Roddie
The twenty-third escapade is something
that occurs annually - just begun.
It starts with baked goods, luscious cakes, sweet pies,
and other loaded calories, then moves
onward to gifts and fancy wishes while
your path in life grows deeper into grooves
that you will travel circularly like
a needle in a vinyl record. Shall
an existing love continue its growth,
and will family stay strong? And friends? And
long-term goals etched deeply into the folds
of gravy memory oozing gray whims?
The adventure's the best part, and, still quite
young, you'll know to make twenty-three just right.
