Family Road Trip
My dad said,
We’ve got to hit the road!
So I did.
It hurt.
My brother said,
That’s one small step for man.
My sister said,
And an impossible feat for a goldfish.
My mum said,
The journey is more important than the destination.
I said,
Try telling that to the ticket inspector.
We’ve got to hit the road!

And an impossible feat for a goldfish.
My mum said,
The journey is more important than the destination.
