Ode to a gypsy wheel

The Raymond Island ferry has broken down again
the Raymond island fery has not got many friends
Its back to bikes,and walking and hailing our wonderful bus ( thanks Ian)
Oh so much is offered for a lot of fuss.
 
But we get to talk to Stewie who tells us all the news
The repairs will take forever 5 - 6 weeks is his latest view (Stewie humour)
The new gypsy wheel is ordered and spare parts are coming tooooooooo
From Germany and Europe - lots of Euros due.
 
Our wonderful bus and drivers are rising to the call
Husband, wives and their close mates do their shifts working oh so very late
Amazing what fate does bring, when they are all cut loose
A good reason to be out, when you don't need an excuse.
 
Koalas, kangas, ducks and the 'black geese'
Love it when the ferry out gives lots of peace
The roads are quiet and empty, the same as my ice box

Now here is more bad news, we're all heading to be detoxed
Ever tried to carry six slabs home with the shopping
Lets pray to God, that Ugly Betty also is not stopping........
