Travels we have made abhorred

Journeys around the state till sore

Who's to say whenst the aches doth begin?

Either they're from too much time spent pinned



Or from too much carting around of weight ...

Using muscles and bones no longer so great

All for the sake of a friendship well-recognized

With a breadth and depth, no longer in disguise



- Tristram
