Don't be late

Don't be late they said
We'd been invited to stay
It was a four hour drive

Dine at six o'clock
So we had plenty of time
So I calculated

We drove through the hills
Avoiding the busy highway
It was far more fun that way

Little shops to visit
Then there was the scenic lake
On our erratic course

This led us astray
With delay at the ferry
I was put in a spin

Sun slowly sank west
I returned to the highway
Trying to catch up time

We didn't of course
But were greeted with a grin
So we were surprised

"Oh, you're always late
We have booked in for seven
We rememberd last time"

The two sisters hugged
I shook hands with her hubby
Our family is good
