Tripped Up By Traveling
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It’s outrageous, a rip-off, a gyp
What we paid for that terrible trip.
And to make matters worse,
I lost baggage and purse.
I believe they went down with the ship.
Note: This was inspired by two prompts: rip and outrageous. And speaking of poetry prompts, there’s still plenty of time to participate in my latest limerick and haiku prompt, whose theme is temper.
