Going away,
Yes far away,
Not needed is anchors aweigh,
But still we are heading pretty far away...
See ya next week, ed, rufuz & rene'

Going Away are We…


 


For a week, we go to Kentucky,


To visit some friends that are more family,


No more reviews for all you special few,


We leave tonight, will miss all especially you…


 


So don’t think me to be ignoring you all,


I would not do that, would not appall,


Getting away for a few days from the urban sprawl,


Before I go insane and go out on sick call…


 


We will be back next week, around the mid section,


That will be when you can look for my resurrection,


Then you can all go back and enjoy me, yes for me affection,


That is of course, in my old age, if I can remember you all, yes recollection…
