I Followed HerTo Denver<\/strong><\/p>\n

I followed her to Denver.<\/p>\n

It got cold there in the winter.<\/p>\n

She said she\u2019d never been there.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know who or what sent her.<\/p>\n

I followed her to Tucson.<\/p>\n

It got hot there in the summer.<\/p>\n

How long now had she been gone?<\/p>\n

Being here is a real bummer.<\/p>\n

I followed her to Charleston.<\/p>\n

It was nice there in the autumn.<\/p>\n

She asked if she could borrow ten.<\/p>\n

If I\u2019d known, I could have bought them.<\/p>\n

I followed her to Seattle.<\/p>\n

It was wet there in the spring.<\/p>\n

It was good for all the cattle.<\/p>\n

All the grass was very green.<\/p>\n

I followed her to Napa.<\/p>\n

Good weather there all year around.<\/p>\n

I guess I\u2019m gonna hafta<\/p>\n

ask her to finally settle down.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great here in the city.<\/p>\n

Good food, wine and the arts.<\/p>\n

The vineyards are very pretty.<\/p>\n

the grapes hauled in on carts.<\/p>\n

We finally made a commitment.<\/p>\n

We were married in the spring.<\/p>\n

And to think I almost didn\u2019t<\/p>\n

follow her. It was quite a thing.—————-R. W. Johnson—–(2013)<\/p>\n
