Life on the Road with Justy

We’ve done a lot together,
remember the time we went
on that trip to Avalanche Ranch
with the kids and the luggage
blew off the roof after making
enough noise to raise the dead?
how about that winter when the
ruts on Grove Street were so
deep, my little 14” wheels
didn’t even reach the cement?
Going way back, that first
trip we took together to
Canyonlands to meet your
sister and you didn’t know
that the gas gauge was so
non-linear, heck, we almost
ran out of gas in the middle
of nowhere. That was a close
one. We carpooled with
LeRoy and Harlan, dropped the
kids off at elementary school,
middle school and a few times
just a few blocks away at
the high school.
Yeah, we have a lot of
good memories, you and me.
Seems like you’re ready to
step out a little bit more
now, though, and my old engine
just can’t barely make it up
the hill to Louisville.
So, pass me on to another
family with some little kids
that need to get around town.
You go ahead and spread
your wings, with that new
1992 Toyota you just picked up.
I’ll be fine.
