seemed like a fun idea

we take a trip
to the Grande canyon
in our new Winnebago
because
that's what retired people do.
we take a lot of pictures
to send to friends,
then to Yellowstone
and the Red Wood Forest
to see the big trees.
then to Minnesota
to shop at the biggest
mall in the world.
we spend six weeks driving
around America.
sleeping, eating, using
the tiny bathroom in
our mobile home.
in time though, it all wears
thin and we start to hate
each other, so we drive
back home,
saying nothing for 
a thousand miles,
then we get on the phone
pleading to our
bosses to get our jobs back.
