“The time has come,” the Walrus said,
“To talk of many things:
Of shoes–and ships–and sealing-wax–
Of cabbages–and kings–
And why the sea is boiling hot–
And whether pigs have wings.”
Of trips, and travels and dreams
Of wheels, far horizons and big skies,
And whether dreams do come true
With no doubts of ‘is this wise?’
Yes…we’ve thought this through!
“It’s time” they said,
(Andrew and Sue)
To say “farewell! old London town”
Six years have passed
And it’s been a blast
Now it’s time for something new.
“Let’s sell the house!” Andrew said
“What? Are you mad?” cried Sue
“We work, we toil
What on earth to do?”
“I have a plan – let’s buy a van”
And that, dear friends, is true.
But first, we tried a little trip
And drove across the land,
In a little home on wheels,
It was easy! As we’d planned
With stops and starts, and yummy meals
We thought, this really is quite grand!
So off we went, to search about
Nothing but the best, it’s true
1st choice, a great big bus
Oh yes! We thought, that’d do!
But… was this right for us?
Our week on wheels was almost done
RVs, fifth wheels, trucks and more
Were looked at, sat in, yes or no?
Confusion reigned – what a chore!
What next? Now where to go?
Decisions, decisions, it was so hard
And then, no doubts, that ONE!
“That’s it!” We said, “a Rockwood Ultra Lite”
Oh yes! The deal was done.
It seemed to fit, just right…
What is this strange thing? You may well ask…
‘Woody’ – our home on wheels,
American, born and bred.
‘Buzz’ comes too, that’s the deal
He tows our home – full steam ahead!
So, what next? I hear you say…
The house is sold, the 5ver bought
We’re sorting, packing, lots to do
Plans to make, will they come to naught?
But no! We’re off… For now… adieu!
This bit of nonsense took me all of 30 minutes to write…it is flawed but was fun to do – with apologies to Lewis Carroll ☺
Our 5ver is a big American fifth wheel called Woody and he will be pulled along by Buzz – a Ford F150 truck…follow our adventures on the blog here…we’re set to leave early January…
Why Woody and Buzz…? Rockwood…think Toy Story…’to infinity and beyond’… ☺
