Poems from My Vacation 5 – Skagway

Skagway has a choo-choo ride

Up through an icy pass.

My wife and I ate burgers there

‘Cause the cruise burgers were… fine.

There was a tram that led up to

Majestic mountains silver.

They also sold alpaca clothes

That cost so much they… fine?

We watched a film about the rush

For gold in Yukon lands.

The supply of actual gold to find

Far outweighed demand

And so a lot of horses died

(And sure, some humans too).

My wife got sick… I found a stick…

Did I mention the choo-choo?
