Play

I'm going to quit awhile
And hike to some quiet place
To rest, to loaf and play
Plays hobby, you say; perhaps
But hobbies help make health
And health is better
Than a million "bucks"-
With no pep left
Tomake the spending fun
So I'm going north
With wife, and Riddles" too
To play for form again
Should you have play in mind
Just take tip from me
And talk to Strieby, the Katy man.
He knows the places
And the way to 60
To make the trip enjoyable.
