wrote this on the way back from our trip to Dubbo …. sitting in the car … it all just came to me ….
Our bags were packed we were ready to go
A long trip lay ahead on the road to Dub-bo
Driving for miles with nothing but trees
Our legs getting tired, and seized up our knees
The radio played country music all the way
And Kath won the music quiz they started to play
Before too long we arrived in the spot
The wind it was freezing, it certainly wasn’t hot !!
We shopped all the morning then met Kelvin for lunch
We chatted and talked, we were a rowdy old bunch.
We went to some lessons that to learn some new moves
We twisted and twirled and gave it some groove
We showed our new dance that was called Stuck on Elvis
And when Kelvin taught it he wiggled his pelvis
We then had a nap and made ourselves pretty
We were so tired because we’d walked half the city
Then like Princess Cinderella it was off to the ball
We waited at home for a handsome prince to call
But without a pumpkin or chariot to ride
We walked to the venue and ambled inside
The music was playing songs of our dreams
Half the country was there, or so it seems
We danced all night on a sea of red
They liked our new dance and it went to our head !!
Too many dances gave Kathryn no air
But Jackie was smoking and she didn’t care
Pat was a regular they all knew her name
Chris was still dancing, we were so glad we came
Before too long the clock it chimed midnight
But those country folk kept dancing it was such a delight
We danced back home our feet were so sore
Yet we would have stayed if they offered us more
Dancing with Kelvin was in our dreams
But it wasn’t just Kathryn … or so it seems !!
We slept dreaming of boots, cowboys and cowgirls
Dancing with coaster steps, kicking and twirls
We awoke the next morning and lost Pat and Chris
We went to the zoo, but gave it a miss !!
The long drive home was looming ahead
And all we could think of was our own comfy bed
So this is the end of our Westie fairytale
It won’t be our last – we’ll go again without fail.
