May Days Poem Continued





Tea Break


Our Fearless Leader


That evening David joined us, which was fine
As he came bringing nibbles and extra red wine.
A foot massage bath, what a wonderful treat
Just what was needed to soothe our sore feet.
A beer and a shower, the order was right
Sunset over the lake, a peaceful sight

Dinner came next, what a grand affair
Cooked as it was by chefs extraordinaire.
Sausages, salad, potatoes, then cake and cream
When Steph spied cream her eyes did gleam
With dinner all done, it didn’t take long
To clear the table and start a sing song.


Armed with a song sheet, Stewart playing guitar
Singing our version of “Stay by Me Di an NA”
Peggy Sue and Caroline we had to a try
Remembered songs from days gone by.
Having sung and danced and finished the red
Tired and happy we drifted to bed.


Next day the last, fun times together must come at an end
As back to homes our way we do wend
Some by car, the others on foot
Still checking for trees when needing a toot.
Some treasures were found, a horseshoe, a tap
But beginning to wonder if John lost the map

When straight ahead, Bathurst we sight
Our intrepid leader takes a sharp turn right
Another dirt road all up and down
Wondering if ever we will get to the town
Finally Bathurst and coffee at the Hub
Even better, home and a soak in the tub!

This is traditionally a visit to a place of some religious or historic significance; often a considerable distance is travelled."
