Dijon Vu I can still remember going on this one strange trip I don’t quite remember if we went by car or ship Either, I was dreaming or I could have been quite bent These places seemed familiar well, now this is how it went I thought I’d get a bite to eat, and hailed down a cab The cabbie union was on strike, so this guy was a scab I said lets hit Wells Fargo, and he went to North Dakota? I said let’s get a tall one and he picked up Abe Vigoda I said hey look, now there’s a Butte, and now we’re in Montana I said that it was time to split, he cut up a banana I said lets get a wiener and we ended up in Frankfurt We met a dominatrix and of course she said her spank hurt (!) I said take me to paradise, we went and played some craps I said let’s get some fish and chips, we met a couple chaps I said, delicatessen, and we wound up in New Delhi I ordered up the lamb shanks but the curry sauce was smelly The cabbie put the blame on me I said, your in denial Now we’re in a river that’s at least four thousand miles He started getting short with me and so I said, Yo Mama! Now I’m eating sushi at the top of Fujiyama I told him we were scared so he took us to the Euphrates Abe said he was lonely so we tried to find “the ladies” We drove right by “The Jefferson’s” and picked up George and Weezy They wanted to go swimming so we went to the Zambezi Then we wanted coffee so he took us east of Java He said we should be careful about all the molten lava We thought we’d get some sunshine so we went to the Bahamas Then we saw King Tut the boy king buried in pajamas Someone wanted rum so we went over to Jamaica This dude, all in his dreadlocks said, Hey Yah Mahn I must wake ya Then we went by Chile to see Tierra del Fuego The bus was getting small so we jumped in a Winnebago Then we did a little jaunt right over to Sri Lanka Someone wanted decaf so we had to buy some Sanka By now we thought we’d go ahead and go over to Cuba We thought we’d start a marching band and so we bought a tuba Of course we couldn’t leave until we visited Sumatra And since we did it our way we put on some old Sinatra We went over to Baghdad so that we could find Osama We saw him in a dirthole and we yelled down, Hey Yo Mama! I feel like I have been to all these places in the past Too bad the trip is over now I wanted it to last I’ll tell you folks some other time about the other places There was lots of other trips with many other faces I can’t wait to tell you guys about the time with Custer Dijon Vu, where all your mem’ries, don’t quite cut the mustard |

*chuckling* This one was very cute and whimsical, with good usage of semantics and punnery. A very enjoyable read over coffee.  |

Dang, Richy... Since it was a scab, I certainly hope you bargained for a trip total instead of mileage! Very funny, creative, and demented (which, in this case, is very, very good!) Love and Light...jc This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light. |

 (giggles rolling on floor) Hehehe, hey, if you see Rand McNally at the Waffle House with John Deere, you have him drop a line my way, to the U.S 66 Prophet! (giggles) Hehehe, I think you just inspired me here, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |

a delightful ditty, although "ditty" seems too short a word When I read the title, I thought maybe I was going to learn about a mustard you'd seen before I was pleased to see that mustard finally arrived on the scene. LOL Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Sounds like a far-out trip heh, a most enjoyable read Richy. Glad to see you among these blue pages again Maree. Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Gee Maree, you didn't have to come all the way, up over from down under, just to say hello... But I'm sure glad you did! You take good care, okay?  |
