Friday Fling #139 July 29th 2011
When it gets hot and bothersome, when the dog days of summer get both you and your dog down, if you like to travel and get some vacation time, it could be time for a…ROAD TRIP!
Impromptu summer vacation trips can be some of the most fun and memorable. See new sights, meet new people, get into new kinds of trouble!
So Michelle and I thought this might be a good time to write about them! Generic, past or imagined!
Like a freeform road trip, we’re gonna let you loose this week with no format suggested – just drive where your muse wants to take you! But if possible, try something new!
This week the Friday Fling takes a poetic road trip!
Be sure to save time to read and comment spontaneously on your fellow Pals’ meanderings. Then go and enjoy the weekend…maybe…take a…you know what?

I certainly do look forward to impromptu trips. Looking forward to the “Fling” too.
Oh this is gonna be fun!!!
ROAD TRIP!
When summertime beckons you out
to see what life is all about,
give daily indoor life the slip.
Get in your car, take a ROAD TRIP!
When you can’t hide using a cape
and know it’s time to just escape
so you can get a better grip,
it may be time for a ROAD TRIP!
When you’ve bought your dream vehicle;
gas price is down by a nickel,
accelerate to a good clip.
Zoom off to joy on a ROAD TRIP!
When your friends look down in the mouth
blankly staring north and south,
their hearts will all do a backflip
when you take them on a ROAD TRIP!
Into the unknown you travel
as daily stresses all unravel.
Anxieties all take a dip,
while thrills arise on your ROAD TRIP!
What’s around that next horizon
may very well be quite surprisin’.
Don’t take “hold on!” from any lip,
careen along on your ROAD TRIP!
Arriving at a destination
unknown to wild imagination;
did you a big hole in time rip
on this incredible ROAD TRIP?
Finally back to what you know,
you ponder where fate made you go.
Pour out a drink and take a sip.
Memories flow of your ROAD TRIP.
