Back to Nature

 

Get back to nature, the brochure read

Tranquil walks, the ranger said

Walking the trail, between the trees

This was going to be a breeze.

After a while, things started to change

Blisters were forming, we were out of our range

Leeches and ticks, mosquitoes and ants

All were biting, we didn’t stand a chance.

Limping slowly, we retraced our steps

Back to the beginning of our tranquil quest

Where enjoyment in nature, turned to distress and pain

And yes of course, it started to rain.
