A New Hello to the New World

You’ve watched Cheesy’s trip extend and extend,
And she’s only just come to a partway-there end.
Two years she’s been gone, and two years more still,
But four years of eighty is not overkill:
The highway’s quite long, and our lives all the more,
So pack up your bags, hitch a ride, and explore.
Some journey literally, and some in their mind,
But nobody ever leaves anything behind.
We roll and we roll and we gather the dust,
We roll up and down and back home if we must,
And in our great roll we pick up bits and pieces
Till we swell like balloons that the hot air releases –
But now don’t you go think Cheesy’s floating away:
She just swung a bit southwards, like a compass astray.
And while sense of direction isn’t quite her best feat,
She’ll steer a good path, and make all the paths meet
At some point down the line, in a bright hazy future
When all comes together, like a good surgeon’s suture.
So I hope you’ll roll by as the stitching gets done,
Merge your bubble with others, till at last there’s just one,
It’ll swell, we’ll be swell, and all’s well that ends well
‘Cause that’s life, and we’re only just drops in the well –
Case in point: how my words are here dropping like crumbs,
So I’ll wrap it all up, lest your attention span numbs:
Thank you for reading, you’re an admirable sport
For following a blog that was anything but short,
For sticking by Cheesy, through thick and through thin,
And for keeping in touch when new journeys begin.
