A Lifelong Adventure

It took two years to get this far

In my beat up little red car

With the music blaring

And everyone staring, I couldn’t be happier.

The abandoned house at the end of the lot

Was left there, long ago just to rot.

I wanted to stay, but I could not

The desire to move couldn’t keep me in one spot.

Five years have passed and I am very tired

My plan to keep moving has severely backfired

My punch-bug could barely sputter a mutter

This long adventure was my true bread and butter

You could never find me six feet under

But instead know me as the new Kentucky-wonder

Trapped in the streets with nowhere to go

With a box and an old broken banjo
