Went to Cadiz and then Jerez
And I also saw Gibraltar
Where they have so many Apes
There was one there known as Walter

There’s a Naval Base in Rota
Where I did all my performing
The weather was so nice
And the sun was very warming

Got to travel with my friends
Maggie, Kathy, Wade and AJ
In fact AJ kept my shoes
And made them look a little stagey

Saw some dolphins in the sea
Saw them come and saw them vanish
Fui a la feria
Where I got to habla Spanish

I would like to go next year
Me gustaria ir el proximo ano
If in Spain you need the bathroom
Say donde esta el bano?

It’s wintertime in Germany
And I am tired and beat
The children on my airplane trip
Kept kicking at my seat

The plane set down in Frankfurt
And I hit the ausfarht sign
In German that means exit here
And they’re not hard to find

I headed down to Heidelberg
To meet my German friends
The snow is falling as I do
For days it never ends

I did some shows at Ramstein
A U.S. Air Force Base
Then I met some teacher friends
We dined at Anna’s place

Colleen had sauerbraten
And I had putenbrust
Toni had some Zanderfisch
And George had bratenwurst

The next day was in Mannheim
A U.S. Army Post
I judged a chilli cookoff
There’s one I liked the most

The next day back to Heidelberg
To see the castle there
And walk along Neckar
Where Mark Twain used to stare

I loved this trip to Deutschland
Despite the icy snows
I even wrote a little song
And this is how it goes

“Next stop ausfarht,
Time to exit now
Next stop ausfarht,
Don’t go near that stau (traffic jam)”

Auf Wiedersehen to Marion
Bis Bald to Brian too
A special tchuss to sweet Maureen
My best to all of you

Danke

I just flew to England
Great Britain some say
The United Kingdom
Or just the U.K.

Did concerts in Croughton
A wonderful place
And in old Alconbury
At a big Air Force base

They do not use dollars
But Pounds for their cash
To buy fish and chips
And bangers and mash

The school that’s in Croughton
Is really quite small
With 51 students
And 6 teachers, that’s all

I did do an evening
Concert for them
With a fairly nice turnout
Of two hundred and ten

The last day in England
I have travelled around
And spent the day walking
Round old Oxford Town

So cheerio Betsy
And Every new friend
Liz, Bruce and Joan
My thank you I send

I love British Cricket
And Football with feet
And how they all drive
On the left of the street

I spent last October
In New Mexico
Performing my “Reading,
Writing and Rhythm” show

Las Cruces is the name
Of the town that I did
And it once was the home
Of Billy The Kid

This part of New Mexico
Is famous for chile
It has green ones and red ones
And of course there’s young Billy

Las Cruces is close
To El Paso, Texas
And I give that region
My O’s and my X’s

One of the schools
I did was all right
Daytime assemblies
And a Crow Movie night

The concert I did
Attracted much notice
Then they showed
“The Adventures Milo and Otis”

Each child attending
Got to sing, laugh and hollar
Pizza and popcorn
And fun for a dollar

300 people
At one dollar each
It raises some money
For student and teach

I’ve tried to write blogs
In prose loose and terse
But I finally decided
To do it in verse
