So Long and Farewell

It only feels like yesterday since my first interview,

But through six years I've had to say goodbye to quite a few.

Yet this time round it is my fate to face the curtain call,

And so I say a hugely great farewell to one and all

'Just what on earth now will you do?' I've been asked lots of times.

The truth I here enlighten you, but using different rhymes.

Ohhhhhhhh...

I'm chasing the sun and I'm buggering off,

just as fast as my two legs can run.

I've earned all I can and I've saved lots of dosh,

think I'm long overdue for some fun.

I'm off after women, and burn to a tan,

just as much as my body will stand.

Drinking bottles of vino and catching some waves,

if I'm lucky I'll sing with a band.

With cheap flights and hostels I'll scour the world,

from the Swiss Alps to deepest Peru.

Be it swimming with the dolphins or feeding the sharks,

I'll rinse each single moment right through.

Please don't bug me for postcards or cheap souvenirs,

as a bitch slap will often offend.

And I just won't have time for the posting of mail,

so its facebook or nothing my friend.

I'll be back in a year with a head full of jokes,

and a fistful of coins with a note.

I just hope that I make it back all in one piece,

and am not married off to a goat.
