We made this afternoon
We hoppéd on the shuttle-bus
At least we'd get there soon
Unluckily, the de-bus stop
Was far from destination
We walkéd to the place it was
At least we knew th'location
It turnéd out that map misled
And Goodwill store was nought
But Goodwill D'nation Center
Where things couldn't be bought
Fortunately, we had a phone
With GPS in gear
We located another G'will
At least it looked quite near
The Goodwill store was miles away
A marathoner's training
'Twas two-thirds leagues to Goodwill shop
At least it wasn't raining
A drizzle fell atop our heads
The dewdrops the ground starred
'Twas effluous but at the least
It wasn't raining hard
A thunderstorm conjuréd then
Raindrops fell in wide flocks
Soak'd was I from hair to toe
At least we had a sidewalk
We came then to a 'struction site
And sidewalk was no more
Forcéd off the road were we
On path to Goodwill store
We forgéd on through many trials
Sans-stoplight crossed the road
Through rain and mud and grassiness
Ourselves to G'will we towed
Arrivéd we at store at last
And purchased we our cause
Good Goodwill deals we siezéd there
Was't worth it? I say 'twas
