Texas in January: A Photographic Study With Rhyme

On a clear winter's day,
One Daddy said, "Hey"
"I've got a fabulous plan!"
"It's 80 outside,
So let's go for a ride."
And off they all trouped to the van.


Finding themselves near
To the park they loved dear
They stopped to admire the view.
And sat on the ground.
Near a creek that they'd found.
Where there frolicked some geese, quite a few.


Next Jare proved his talents.
On a canon he did balance.
While the crowd held back every sound.
Not once did he stumble.
His resolve would not crumble.
(Though he was 1 whole foot off the ground.)



Daddy's challenge was met
And he came to regret,
Inviting Boose and her long legs to race.
For though he escaped,
His pride was quite scraped,
When she easily matched his fast pace.


Away from the rest,
Bal found his own test,
In the form of an infamous hill.
Undaunted and brave,
His best try he gave.
And proved once again his strong will.


Meanwhile, back at the bars,
Nod reached for the stars
Not knowing what the outcome would be.
His reach was quite small,
But his determination tall.
And he rallied triumphantly.

The baby set her eyes
On a most worthy prize,
A massive and magnificent steed.
With a little boost
To the saddle she was introduced.
And she relished in such a fine deed.

At the end of the day,
This family could say.
They had given their all and their best.
They left feeling pleased.
Their cabin-fever eased.
As they set off on another fine quest.
