The Drive Poem by Susan Lacovara

Asked if I would take a drive
Perhaps just an hour
Outside of town...
Be introduced to a favorite cousin
Stay in the backyard to barbeque...
Nothing fancy
No need to fuss
Would I think it fun
Would I go along
Would I play along
Would I say yes

I answered yes....

And thought about how many times
I stopped short of asking
If we could take a drive
Perhaps just an hour
Outside of town
To meet his favorite cousin
Maybe have a barbeque in the backyard
No need for them to be fancy
Or fuss over me
I just thought it might be fun
To maybe go along
Be allowed to play along
Would he say yes
