Miltons Stray-Cation

Florida is definitely in the USA I’m kinda worried because Milt will soon be on his way I found a map and studied it and found a ‘Melbourne’ there I hope he gets the right plane or he could get quite a scare So if Milt disembarks the plane and gathers up his clobber I hope some Shiela doesn’t ask him, ‘How ya doing, Cobber!’ But fear not, Milton, if it happens, you’ll know what to do Just dial zero, zero, zero, option eighty two That’s should get a special secret agent sounding man Just say the coded sentence which is simply, ‘I need Gran.’ Turbo Gran will meet you in her Speedy ice cream van Her secret code will be to wink and say, ‘I need a man’ You say, ‘I need chocolate sauce, for chocolate sauce is best’ She’ll take you and your luggage and she’ll drop you at Key West From there though, you’ll be on your own, for I must tell you that They’ve got crocodiles and they’ll try to eat her cat But Nitro-Cat will sort them out for he’ll know what to do Which means that we can only hope those crocs do not eat you Happy holiday Milt!

The writing part of this was actually from pen to page (metaphorically speaking) probably twenty minutes. But it originally featured Alligators and getting a definitive answer to whether Key West had crocs or gators took a little longer. Still, I now know more about gators than I did…. They don’t handle saltwater too well, you know! Cheers, Rico. Terry

What a cute verse in tribute of Miltons trip to Florida.

Thanks, Eve. It’s his reward for following my ‘Ice Cream Gran’ saga. Some of them are a little (gulp!) lengthy, so I thought I’d feature him in a little spin off… Star Wars, eat your heart out! Terry

Aw, that was so neat, and I thank you so much, Terry. Actually, I am driving. I'm going to stay overnight somewhere along the way if I get tired, and hopefully will arrive in a little country place called Chuluota on Friday evening or Saturday morning. My niece has a lovely farm there, where I plan to relax and just enjoy the sunshine. It's been in the 80s there for the last several days. Again, thanks so much! It was a wonderful send-off!

IN THE 80s… now you’re just showing off… we’re expecting a high of 13 this week. So I hope you’ll consider us eskimos whilst your basking in the sunshine. Have a great time. Terry

Those time zones can be tricky when it comes to afternoon naps though, Tom. I’d better get her one of those multi-dial watches. Terry
