Day 15 - Rest Day



So here we sit with not much to do except watch TV, and eat. Mmmmmm.

So Marge suddenly bursts into song:

"Good morning Canada, How are yer.
Don’t you know us we are Marge and Ron.
Ohh, we are on the Tandem, riding cross this country,
And we’ll do a hundred klicks when the day is done.

Oh, we started off in Bruno Wednesday morning,
Good bye friends we’re on our way at last.
In rain we parted full of joy of freedom,
Someone else was going to cut our grass.

Oh the tires humming on the road, the trailer with its heavy load,
The horses in the paddock as we pass,
the people with their smiles and waves , The trucks are giving us safe space,
And the endless sense of pain in our ass.

Good morning Canada How are yer……"

So we thought, why not a little competition for our friends and readers to add verses. (It is, of course sung to Good Morning America, How are you, by, among others Willy Nelson.)

Shouldn't that be "Willie Nelson - City Of New Orleans?" - Ed

Ron and Marge will donate $20 to the JDRF for the best verse, as judged by Marge.

If we get a good response, we also thought, that Andrew could write a play about it, Sandra direct the play, Debbie would write a whole new tune and many more words, Peter Crookes would complain about the lack of invective and the difficulty of designing such a large set, Chris would want to play Marge, Susie, in view of the fact that there are no evil twins, would choreograph it and somehow bring in a Mambo. Tina would bring in a fruity headdress, Alwyn would proofread the script and add interesting and erudite comments. Davey would organize the pool party. Rob will want to play the drunk, and Betty will want the part on the front of the tandem. Elaine, of course would do the travel arrangements for the International Tour. Just a silly thought…….

Weather for tomorrow is some liquid sunshine, but whatever…..Marge pass the rum

  1. For those of you totally flumoxed by the last somewhat strange paragraph in the blog of 10 June, the reference is to members of the St Bruno Players, only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.ront
