WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY

This week I used all the words River provided for the last in June.  She has done a good job supplying us with challenging words for the fun.

virus, business, instrument, special, complex, superhuman, hottest, reconnect, interactive, driftwood, mystery, continental and the phrase, "there is a Prince Charming in all good fairy stories".

JUNGLE FEVER by Granny Annie

Traveling through the Land of the Lost
A virus infected our hiking tour.
It was our business to seek out care
To find some instrument of a cure.

Jungle scenery and animals
Seemed less than special now.
Superhumans we were not
For complex rescue to allow.

What shelter on a hottest day?
Would we ever reconnect?
A burning fever plagued us
As interactive minds reflect.

Was it driftwood that infected us?
What could solve this mystery?
Moving like a continental army
We headed toward a churning sea.

But, “there is a Prince Charming
In all good fairy stories” still.
Kissing was found to be the cure
Ending a need for any medical pill.

A few might go again someday.
The Land of the Lost was in each heart.
We went home healthy and happy.
We had enjoyed the kissing part.
