Up, Up and Away

she woke up giddy with excitement.

in just a few hours,

she'd be on her way

to the land of snow,

the midnight sun,

the iditarod,

and the aurora borealis.

she couldn't believe her luck

and thought to herself that

it really must be true

that what you spend time

thinking about comes back

to you in magical ways.

she giggled

and decided to spend
time thinking about
a million dollars,
a pound puppy,
land in montana,
and a free trip around the world.

she paused.

"oh, and maybe big dipper's
pumpkin ice cream recipe...
'cuz that stuff is G, double O, D,
GOOD!"
