One Single Impression: Shortcut

.

Shortcut

..

Dad had said we'll get there faster

he was ever famous for tricks

he took a neat shortcut that day

was a longcut the kids all said

.

Try as he may dad was stymied

he couldn't get across the tracks

no getting around them either

don't go that way the kids all said

.

Was eight Dad and the kids came home

missed their supper chicken was gone

leftovers cold they had to eat

shouldn't have gone the kids all said

.
