Missed the plane - missed the boat
There's no train - that's all she wrote
Now I don't know what I'm gonna do...
Broke my thumb - can't hitch a ride
Feel so glum - my donkey died..
Got no way of getting back to you.
Don't know where my surfboard's at
Roller skate has got a flat..
Got a great big hole in my right shoe...
Propeller's broken on my cap
Some smart feller stole my map...
Got no way of getting back to you.
I told you I'd be coming back to get you
Told you I'd be coming back to stay..
I don't want you to think that I'd forget you
But it's no joke - my compass broke
And I can't find my way!!
Pogo stick has lost its spring
Got no stick to roll my ring
Red wagon fell apart when I was two.
Stagecoach wouldn't let me on..
Well, that's it...my hopes are gone
Got no way of getting back to you

Likely story, Michael.... any 'gal' with a lick of sense would know this is a bunch of lame excuses..... but we believe what we want to believe.
A week with Gal in the Bahamas, huh... well, I've been there and I didn't see what it was 'cracked' up to be.... but hey, if she's willing, why not. The Florida key chain is a good choice, though
But maybe you should ask her for a map or a new compass
And as for the poem... well...what can I say that I haven't already said.

Were you on horseback playing air guitar? that's how this sounded to me - you know the lament that all cowboys sang Audie Murphy style. Loved this

LMAO..i loved this - I would have loved to see you add the written word too but hey - what a voice! Are you sure you're not a Texas cowboy laying out on a Florida beach? I knew that keychain would do the trick! Thank you so much for entering - loved this!
