Poem

There's a place on the globe that everyone's heard
and the place is 'God knows where',
but instead of a phrase God gave it a word
and the word is 'Solitaire'
At each compass point lies blistering sand
under blue relentless sky
not the best location you can understand
for the World's very best apple pie.
For they serve it here with an ice cold beer
just pick it up and hold it in your thumbs
and keep an eye out for the Weaver birds near
as they forage on the table for the crumbs.
There's a gas station and a general store
anyone dropping by never stays
and you can see just why, in the lot nearby
all the vehicles have seen better days.
Check your car's got gas, and the water level's high
if you leave and break down, you'll be dead
but just remember to take with you Moose MacGregor's apple pie
then at least you will die well fed.

A memory of my time in Solitaire,  Namibia, and THE world's best Apple Pie.
I can see why they stuck it in a desert. Otherwise there'd be none left.
