Thanks to Mr Ed Kostro for joggling my memory & muse...with his Route 66 write...e


Poem Artwork


A motor home that sucks up gas,


Towing a Jeep that looked as if it wanted to pass,


That trip for this rig was unfortunately our last,


Though in future we look forward to flying across fast…


 


We have already seen our future rig,


Forty feet with a diesel pusher, so big,


Wider, higher and more power to run not like a pig,


Have to grow my hippie long hair back,


Or go and find somewhere a really nice wig…


 


We both again look forward to travel,


Staying in one place makes my mind unravel,


This time unfortunately staying on roads of cement,


No more will we try and drive on roads made of gravel…

I love gravel roads take me home. But Interstates 'ill get ya there, gas pump to gas pump. If ya don't get out and feel the grass under your bare feet, it's just a blurrrrr.

Enjoyed this Ed, I've always dreamed of traveling across country in a motor home, no kidding! I would love to take a year to travel and enjoy some sights out west that I've never had the pleasure of seeing. I've been north, east, and south, but never out west! If you come through Kentucky stop by!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

Hey, Ed, come to Texas! We'd love to have you stop on by! LOL Very well done! But think about the price of gas; you might not get too far! (Crazy, isn't it??)

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :)

Nice write! My motorhome happens to be called the "Empire Builder" and it glides and slides quite nicely.

Thanks,
Dan

Cute, Ed. I live right off of Route 66 and there are a lot of travelers all the time. It is easy, here, to play the license plate game like we did when we were kids and would travel on long car vacations. I once had a travel trailer and I loved being on the road. There is a sense of freedom like no other.
Take care,
Sherry

Travel is truly good for the soul, Bro,
When you get that brand new rig, let me know,
I've got a wife and many pets - ready to go...

Ed, think of all those pioneers sitting on a hard plank with only their butts to cushion those gravel roads.
And you don't need to duck for arrows!
