As it skims along with a happy sound
As it goes along the ground, ground, ground
Till it leads you to the one you love"

Since my sight grew too poor for driving the quality of my life has improved. Buses and trains take a little longer, though not much, but one can read or write on them. Then there is the walking to and from the stop, when the car stopped outside I stepped out of one door and into another, not so bad when I was working and getting exercise other ways, but I reckon it would soon be fatal now. I also save an awful lot of money, even though I take the occasional cab. I am nostalgic for the days when I drove, but it is like having the new model car, I am actually better off.

So if Hawkie’s feeling blue about needing to wear the tack because she’s fat, would that be Blu-Tack?

Yippy, so a walk down the street will be like walking through an unhosed cattle yard.
