The Adventure Part Two

At last he went to his old home town He wasn’t planning to settle down Just looking to see who was still around That’s where he met her He was living a life that was free and wild Stopped dead in his tracks when a maiden smiled From that moment on he was beguiled He was smitten This girl was a very pretty thing With hair as black as the ravens wing Soon he brought her a wedding ring Said farewell to the sea All the things he’d done and seen Were real life not on a TV screen This is what a full life is supposed to mean At last he felt settled Now he sits in his old arm chair Knowing this pretty girls still there Both now having grey in their hair He looks at her lovingly His mind drifts back to his former life Before he married his darling wife With whom he’s shared both fun and strife Knowing he’s been lucky He could never have stuck to the same routine Years without a change of scene Living like that would simply mean Life wasted Looking back on the life he’d had Now happily married, once "Jack the Lad" There’d been good times, there’d been bad None boring Soon enough you find your old Your bones will ache and you feel the cold Your memories are all you hold Be sure to get some So come on you youngsters use your nut Don’t get stuck in a dead end rut Don’t hesitate get off your butt This is not a rehearsal Don’t waste your time on your PC Trying to get to level three There’s a wonderful world out there to see Go for it !!!
