A Sad Parting

by Sankey

We waved a teary "cheerio"

As the "old girl" drove away.

With lots and lots of memories

Of how she served us in her day.



For both of us, no more driving,

We can't do it either way.

My sweety's legs won't let her

Get in or out, no way.


My license has been cancelled,

I'm not fit the powers say.


We'd done trips right down to Adelaide

In South "Australi'ay"

And a couple up to Queensland,

One right out to Winton way.



As I wrote all this that morning,

I had thought I was "ok!?"

But emotions got the better

And more tears have come my way.




'Tween taxis, 'teers and transport

We'll be getting  'round  'til "aye."

Ever since I've given up driving,

A choice I know will stay.

Crazy fuel costs and more "road rage"

Keeps all future drives at bay.


 





Many of my readers understand the difference between British and American English. Then you have that other blight on the world known as "Strine" or Australian treatment of English. Bear this in mind as you read or judge this brand new offering.
