If I had known that my walk
Would take me where a jelly fish pulsated,
I’d have won sandals to stand in the ocean.
If I’d known that my walk
Would pass a skeleton sitting on the roof,
With pink Barbie attire, sipping a pink mimosa in hand,
I’d have worn my scalloped blouse with ruffles along the sleeves.
If I had known that my walk 
Would include eleven hills and stairs,
I’d have brought my walking stick.
If I had known that nowhere
Meant an adventure, 
I would walk all day.
