Some targets were hit and passed today

But just one more makes a score my way

Only once before have I hit the magic 20

Which made me beam so, as it was plenty



So I thought I'd do it just one more time

As I'm so close now, and it's going fine

Perhaps, I'll even do just one verse more

As one in wee small was before this score



So I shall finish penning this one and post it

Then check to see how dog is, and coast a bit

Will come back later with one more short verse

Just so I can call it an even 20 since noon's first
