Typewriter Rodeo: Leap Year

Each week, the Standard reaches out to Austin’s Typewriter Rodeo for a custom poem on Texas topics.

Not every year has an extra day, so when one comes around it’s just good sense to make the most of it!

Leap Year

Get ready

because this year

has

a whole

extra

day!

And it is yours—

all yours

to live as you see fit

So take the plunge

make the wish

there’s magic in the air

When a bonus day adorns our year

each dream is ours to share

Maybe you’ll make a brand new friend

or buy a chocolate bar

Or treat a neighbor

to that trumpet solo

you’ve been practicing all winter

Maybe you’ll just take a super long nap

and wear pajamas all day

whatever you do

just know—

the magic of leap day is on your side.
