This is the fourth in my series. See the links below to catch up.
She didn’t listen to warnings, too busy
Experiencing new feelings and sensations
Like the way her stomach lurched
In anticipation of seeing Jay
Or how she found it impossible
To take her eyes off him when he spoke
A week passed quickly
Jay had to return to the army
Lila had three days to get to Leeds
Her parents last known location
The farmer didn’t understand
But packed a lunch and wished her luck
With no money, Lila walked
Fifty miles, along country lanes
She didn’t mind and made new friends
They didn’t speak words
Some mooed, while others went baa
And her favourite said quack
She drew attention from people
By chatting away to the farm animals
Small screens were pointed at her
And people muttered strange words
Like YouTube, Twitter and Facebook
Instagram was mentioned a lot
Do you know how far to Leeds?
She asked a crowd carrying the small screens
Moo, one said and laughed
Ask the cow you were talking to
Her friend laughed too
A third woman pushed Lila over
