Fellow traveller of the feline kind watchin’ with interest diring a comfort break
27.05.26: 138-80) Alarm goes, I rise, shower, dress, soon to be away
It’s another transit day, but first Busters meds
Then the other cats fed, to the kitchen I head
See what’s on the refrigerator shelf, time to feed myself
Tacos a first course, then for course 2, pancakes an’ syrup’ll do
Thermal cup filled, luggage stowed, time to hit the road
Goodbye to Nianna an’ cats done, away we run
Nianna to work, me to the 281, I’m on it an’ one things clear
I hope to be comin’ back on it next year
139-81) Memories abound as I’m Northward bound
Without doubt one stands out
Last night after the meal, what a fool I did feel
When I sat in the passenger seat an’ reached for the steering wheel
140-82) 8am ring Jojo to say “I’m on my way”.
Coffee in my thermal cup, took a drink it made me scowl
It tasted really foul, don’t know what I done wrong, it ain’t been mad long
Get another when I’m in George West an’ take, a short comfort break
How good it tasted, none of it got wasted
An’ soon I’m in San Antonio it’s been a good drive,
Follow the directions for the I35
I’m through, at a gas station I s the price, I think ‘nice’
Fill up there an’ smile, it’ll last me a while
Ring Becca before I’m done, say I’ll be there at one
No time for debatin’ she says “there’ll be pizza waitin’”
141-83) Had a thought, give Jojo a progress report
Roadworks but things is goin’ right, Downtown Austin comes into sight
Soon I’ll be on the 183, an’ there’ll be Jojo an’ pizza waitin for me
142-84) We meet, greet, hug, smile an’ rest a while
Then go take a break at Quarry Lake
Gentle breeze blowin’ but it’s hot. Jojo’s tired like as not
Back home to rest cos’ in the main, I don’t want her ill again
We give tonight’s open mic a miss, but no need for sorrow
There’s another one tomorrow
