Verse 1 ******** We asked and pleaded for just one word; anything she wanted anything at all.	Verse 2 ******** Finally and after prompting She says, "Surprise me!" And so it shall be today To race around the world In could of disarray to know;
Verse 3 ******** Of all there is yet wanted In contentment to understand Of boys and horse, Meat and potatoes Ugly green vegetables And short hairy dogs.	Verse 4 ******** Racing still is a mind Full of interesting clutter To understand of man In all its simplicity And magnitude of strength.

Verse 5
*******

My life is full and fun
Yet I like to be surprised,
And knowing of the above
Would end the suspense
Of the surprises
Still in store for me.
