The Chase in Seattle (as inspired by Dr. Seuss)
====================
The sun did not shine.
It was too wet to play.
Jen and I set out for adventure
On that cold, wet Chase Day!
To Pike Place Market for breakfast
Before the race was to start,
Our bus schedules in hand
And sure that our strategy was smart.
The Chase started Westlake,
We stood there us two,
We looked at each other,
"I'm ready, Are you?"
So all we could do was to
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
Wait!
For the scavenger list to be read
Not one little bit.
The scavenger hunt was the start
Friends we had to call.
Answers to find
The Space Needle is how tall?
Our shirts were on backwards.
On my cheek was placed a kiss,
"Sir, are you 5 foot 10 inches?"
"May we borrow your dog, miss?"
We ran!
We ran block after block!
We ran!
We ran!
Down to Pike's Place Market!
There is no time to walk!
Whole had to be eaten,
The Can Can with strangers was danced.
Eat a peach with a vendor,
On our phones it was recorded,
A five-person pyramid per chance?
But this is Seattle,
Where coffee is king,
A taste test of 3 coffees,
Oh boy what a thing!
But we had to get moving,
Onto the bus to R.E.I.
Jennifer texted me the questions
And in the store, I'd reply.
More travel by bus,
To the kayaking club,
At Kaplan was a test,
Then the circus at U.W.
Then back on the bus,
Orange balloons in hand!
Crossing the finish line,
Oh isn't it grand?
We learned some new tricks,
It was a heck of a day!
"What? We missed the nude painting?
At the art academy, you say?"
The winners have won,
Most of the day we had sun,
We all had some fun,
But one thing is left to be done,
