the family was joyous
she paid off debts, which were mostly vets,
and decided to go on a voyage
she packed up the kid and sealed up her pouch
left the spouse asleep on the old filthy couch
a ship so grand at the pier
and eager to prove she was now on the move
and addressing her sea-going fears
got her luggage all stored,
went out to see the horizon
and see it she did, both her and her kid
and they both thought it mainly surprisin’
and down she slipped
gave his momma a hand
but he told her once more
she’ll get no refund but she doesn’t care

this verse came about because of the Daily prompt – voyage
and it’s playing with the Daily prompt – filthy – while i work on something new
LOL! Can I adopt them.. and, of course, the lottery win:)

of course, and the lottery winnings are part & parcel, so they come with the package. the husband, however, remains on the dirty old couch.
