TO SUNMAN ONE SUNDAY MORNING I WENT,
A SMALL TOWN IN INDIANA WHERE SOME TIME I SPENT.
WITH A REDNECK GIRL WHO IS OH SO SWEET,
BECAUSE ON THE INTERNET WE CHANCED TO MEET.
A FRIENDLY WELCOME FROM HER WAS MET
AND THE TIME WE SPENT, I'LL NEVER FORGET.
A PHOTO OR TWO OF HER WAS SHOT,
THEN A COUPLE MORE OF THE TWO OF US WAS GOT.
GIFTS WERE EXCHANGED BETWEEN HER AND ME,
NOT EXPENSIVE BUT SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU SEE.
A REAL TIME HUG WAS GIVEN TO ME WHEN I ARRIVED SO,
I RETURNED THE HUG WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO GO.
SHE'S A TRUE, SWEET FRIEND AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS,
IT'S YOUR LOSS IF YOU NEVER MEET THIS REDNECK MISS.
ONCE UPON A TIME A TRIP MY WIFE AND I TOOK,
1200 MILES ON THE MAP TO NORTH BAY I LOOKED.
THE CAR RAN GOOD AND OFF WE WENT,
A WEEK IN ONTARIO WAS JOYFULLY SPENT.
A LADY NAMED CARLA WE SET OUT TO MEET,
SHE CAN'T BE MATCHED, SHE IS MORE THAN SWEET.
HER HUSBAND DAVID WAS ALSO A GREAT GUY,
AND IN A MOMENT I WILL TELL YOU WHY.
TO THEIR HOUSE, CARLA AND DAVID INVITED US IN,
WE RECEIVED SUCH KINDNESS FROM SUCH DEAR FRIENDS.
A DELICIOUS MEAL WAS PREPARED TO EAT,
IT WAS A KINGS FEAST WE WEREN'T PREPARED TO MEET.
AROUND NORTH BAY CARLA GAVE US A TOUR,
A VERY GRACIOUS HOSTESS IS CARLA FOR SURE.
THEY IN THEIR CAR AND US FOLLOWING BEHIND,
WENT TO NIAGARA FALLS, THEY WERE SO KIND.
A TOUR OF THE AREA TO US DAVID DID GIVE,
WE SAW THE OLD HOUSE WHERE HE USED TO LIVE.
ALL THE WONDERFUL SIGHTS AND PLACES WE DID SEE,
WERE HOSTED BY CARLA AND DAVID FOR THE WIFE AND ME.
A WONDERFUL TRIP, A MEMORABLE AND JOYOUS TIME,
WE OWE TO THESE GRACIOUS FRIENDS MET ON THE INTERNET LINE.
AS I WAS GOING TO NORTH BAY,
I MET A MAN GOING THE SAME WAY.
FROM A GREAT DISTANCE, THIS MAN HE CAME.
I KNEW WHY, BECAUSE I DID THE SAME.
TO MEET PEOPLE IN PERSON, THIS YOU CAN BET.
PEOPLE WHO HAD ALREADY MET ON THE INTERNET.
THIS TRAVELER THAT CAME AND THAT I DID SEE,
CAME FROM CALIFORNIA AND WAS NAMED ROADIE.
ROADMAP WAS THE GUY THAT A TRAVELING WENT
AND IN NORTH BAY SOME TIME WE SPENT.
A HEARTY HANDSHAKE TO EACH OTHER WE DID GIVE,
AND WE KNOW THAT FRIENDS ARE MADE WHEREVER THEY LIVE.
HIGH FIVE TO YOU ROADMAP AND THE JOURNEY YOU TOOK,
THIS MEETING WE HAD IS CERTAINLY ONE FOR THE BOOK.
ROADMAP GOES TRAVELING AGAIN AND WHAT DO YOU SEE,
A MEETING IN BIRMINGHAM WITH ROADIE, SUSIE Q AND ME.
SUSIE BROUGHT MR. Q, BESIDE ME HE DOES STAND,
AND THEN THERE'S MRS. HOOT ON ROADIES RIGHT HAND.
A DINNER AT THE "CRACKER BARREL" SO NICE AND SO FINE,
WHERE WE ATE UNTIL WE WERE STUFFED, HAVING A GOOD TIME.
WE LAUGHED AND WE TALKED AS THE HOURS WENT BY,
THEN PHOTOS WERE TAKEN WITH HUGS OF GOODBYE.
IF YOU'VE NEVER MET SUSIE Q NOR ROAD ON THE WAY,
THEN YOU'VE NEVER REALLY EVER HAD A PERFECT DAY.
