Happy Dad's day to all the dad's out there & see you all when I get back...Ed








Poem Artwork

Some might say, too far to drive,

Some might pray, uncomfortable car to in arrive,

Long distance driving my favorite past time,

Rufuz too does enjoy traveling,

If I had to go without him, I’d not survive…

 

So off we go tonight to ole’ Kentucky,

We both feel right now quite lucky,

Our passage paid by a good friend, ain’t that ducky,

As well our motel for a few days, that AIN’T yucky…

 

So this most likely my last for a few days,

Keep us in your thoughts while we’re away,

You will all be in mine, as always and ever,

You’ll know when home I do get,

That will be my first prioritized endeavor…
