Kimbopolo, one of the RV bloggers I read on a regular basis, has collaborated on a poem with Randy at
Mobile Kodgers. I found it so clever and inspirational, I wanted to share it with you.
Kim: Well Randy--what did you do today?
Randy: I blogged and blogged the day away.
Writing my posts gives me reasons why
I don't park my rig, lay down and die.
What's your motive for writing your thing?
Kim: Just the sheer joy that a blog can bring
I have this urge to write and write
forever waiting for the muse to bite.
Randy: Well now you are a thing that's new;
So today I think I'll blog about you.
Kim: That might please your readers no end.
As for the photos-- can you make me look thin?
And I think I'll also blog about you.
Tell me your goals and what you do?
Randy: I write poems and travel to the new.
Now tell me your goals and what do you do.
Kim: My needs are small, my goals are few:
go round the bend---admire the view.
You've been free for so long now,
share with me the why, the how.
Randy:I had a good mind--never found where it fit;
I'm a nobody---making-- the best of it.
But you've climbed the heights of academe;
can you find contentment in a drifter's dream?
Kim: Contentment's mine on the open roads;
"afoot lighthearted"---you know how that goes.
Would you ever settle down; cease to roam?
maybe build a fence 'round an earthbound home?
Randy:I've made my gypsy bed---now I
will mosey 'round until I die.
Does moving, moving--on the whole
polish your manner, your mind, your soul?
Kim: All of the above, I guess
since I pulled away from a life of stress.
You think as we keep wandering this way
we become more polished day by day?
Randy: Yes, -- like rocks tumbling downstream;
the bump and bumble makes us glisten and gleam.
Since those you meet are mostly strangers
do you give much thought to risk and dangers?
Kim: Stepping away from the TV news
for good and forever changed my views.
I find decent people wherever I go.
Don't you also find this so?
Randy: Yes, I find goodwill---up and down;
seems every new place is Mayberry town.
But tell me how you choose where to go
and what's the sweetest places you know?
Kim: Trip planning is my favorite art---
I open my map--then open my heart.
What guides you in your nomad style?
what experiences do you find worthwhile?
Randy: By far the richest thing I do:
engaging folks the likes of you.
Kim: Well this has been great; I love to talk deep,
but I have promises to keep.
Randy: The pleasures' been mine--thanks a heap;
I have miles to go before I sleep.
