Four hundred twenty-five miles,

Enjoyed the run, brought many smiles,

Too much money, that I don’t have, spent,

Will have to give up food next time for lent,

This day so special it must have been heaven sent...

All told, fourteen hours on the road,

Pretty tired am I, thought be told,

The stores up there saw me comin’,

Higher prices they had for their wares,

T-shirts, candy & pretzels to me they sold…

Rufuz got two walks on the way home,

But still when we got here he needed to roam,

My legs were aching, my back did throb,

From me, a few minutes of sleep he did rob…
