There's never a dull moment
Or period of gloom
Whenever my Mate Ken
Walks into the room.
He's often non-committal
A sort of,'need to know basis'
But his quick to share with those in need
Cause' he just likes to see happy faces.
His statute gait, is unmistaken
Sure steps forward, Determined concentration
You don't get that from other's than
From one whose 'been-there' defending our Nation.
His confidence and 'straight-forward' ways
Have carried on in 'civvy' days He has the means,He has the 'Pluck'
Has what he needs, it's in the Truck!.
Up Hill-Down Dale,we seem to hurtle,
Ken's got both hands on the wheel of the 'Turtle'
We cruise on in and cruise on out
There n' back there is no doubt.
And all the while ,Ken's at the wheel
I look on with boy-like zeal
Seatbelts on,...is this a Dream?
'Turtle'crosses ,the Turon Stream
'GOLDMASTER',...on...7.62
I'm on my feet and Ken is too!' With Camera...ON...I do detail
Each likely spot... each clue'd, tell-tale.
And Then!...He's gone...
Just like the wind
A cloud of dust
And 'Turtle's rear-end.
I'm left to ponder, his need to wander
Short and sharp,...no muck'n around
I watch the sunset...Gold and Zen!
And where a smile...Put there by Ken.
