Miss GypsiNess has toiled too long at Jollity's inure,
Long past her Day of Reckoning; now Muses fill the air
With Merriment's harmonic song of Gadding's grand allure.
'Tis now her Day of Beckoning as Sirens touch her lair.

Enough Responsibility; she's labored much too long;
Now cast aside all vestments grave; belabored slipper shed
And ready for Frivolity to sing the Sirens' song.
Their melody delightful stave of mirthful trails ahead.

With Burdens all much lighter now, and shed ungilded skin,
No further play for Toiling's game; for Future's yet to know.
She's done her best, met her Avow; new Journeys can begin.
She hears Adventure call her name with all it shall bestow.

Her Quest in life to have some Fun and write of all she sees,
With eyes and heart to focus yet on Future's sweet Entrance.
She'll tell you when she's touched the Sun, thence Siren's Song she'll be;
Bemused by rhythmic castanets, you'll see her gypsy dance.

So, heed her well, she has forespake - she'll venture to and fro,
With tentominium she'll bide throughout the Summer's day.
Though knowing not the road she'll take; and paving as she goes,
Impassive mountains move aside, enticing Gypsy's way.

Entrust in this, loved ones and friends, she and her Travelin' Van;
Miss GypsiNess is Hearkening life's Siren's luring word.
She'll forge new trails by this week's end, and be a Travelin' Nan.
She hears her Day of Beckoning - the Sweetest Song she's heard.

Waft every crest upon your destined sea
Embrace the Wave of Serendipity
Lest its elusive arcane ecstasy
Refurl with sail for all eternity

Well, I spoke a little too soon about not rising up to Balladeer's standards when it comes to writing ballads. I should have known better. Balladeer, my man, you have competition, though I know your not "competing", for your writing is effortless.
But this is one heck of a poem
Loved it, Nan!
Happy journeys!
