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
.
