SANDY ON SAFARI

(Sandy Grant, is a real time lady, who stepped outta the computer into the South African sunshine in April of this year......this is her story!!!!!!!!!!) ......hee hee

..........by the chief lioness.............(this is the real story!!)

A lot has been written, by Gavin, who is smitten......

with this............ " Yankee doodle" ...........GRINS!

but the real true story, embellished in glory, could be ugly? could be gory?

anyway......it is a real good story.

Now the erstwhile Gavin, known as Unca Turtie,

has a terrible affliction, which is called MAJOR "flirty"

This might by some be considered rather naughty..........

He is after all, a man over forty!

Then too, a harem for one so -long- in- the- tooth

has a way of opening up, the incredible truth!

There is Judy, Lynda, Cassie, Sandy and Trini,

err....... can't remember the list, there are so many!

At the top of this heap, is a lady so strong ,

Her name is Carole, now don't get me wrong......

Despite her predilection for a mountain of luggage,

carrying Gavin's new lady, was......... excess baggage?

Gavin and Carol, met Sandy, one fine sunny morn,

and into the country they raced at full horn!

It was during this race, that a tyre did its worst,

it said "tough shit!" and then it burst.

However, the journey, was filled with delight,

and in a cute little hotel, they spent the first night.

The three musketeers, saw many a beast,

hippo, and rhino and then not the least,

jumbos, lions and monkeys too, and on "Maloi"

did Miss Sandy feast.

They travelled the jungles,

the deserts, the veldt, they rested, they bartered,

and it was the FOOD! that Sandy felt.

Mother Africa, the hostess, served dishes strange and new.

Poor Sandy's tummy did not know what to do!

Biltong, mealie-pap, pawpaw, melk-tert, and slap-chips.

These things are meant to be savoured,

not eaten in great dips!

They tried to stop her! ..........They really did!

But the more they chastised her .......... the lady got worse!

Even with Unca Gavie, holding onto her purse!

They toured the great mountains...........

they crossed rivers long and wide.

This was done in a car (Red)........ they did ride.

Grins was estatic!! It was as though nature had opened

a gate......... Africa was breathtaking......... Africa is great!

Down through the jungles, Along coasts wild and Blue,

when she eventually met Bevy's Barton.........

she didn't know what to do.

By this time, the theme of the day,

was poor Sandy's kidneys, and although not on display,

whenever she saw a toilet, it was hip! hip! hooray!!

Gently conveyed through the spectacular Wild Coast,

The thought of seeing Lord Ha Ha, was the best!

She almost couldn't rest!

Eventually they arrived...........

at a marina so clean and wide,

That Sandy felt as if she were a bride!

It was here at this place, that the lioness stepped out,

followed by Yorkies, and everyone gave a mighty shout!

There was feasting, and drinking, and merrymaking

too......... there were presants exchanged, and what a todo!

His Lordship himself, was instantly besotted!

The lioness as well, and and dogs and geese too........

Sandy? poor Sandy, was not in good health...........

She gamely took part, in all of the fun,

but really her priorities, were actually, not in the sun.

We dosed her, we fed her, we tried all we could............

Witchdoctors were called, and it was clearly understood

that poor Sandy's waterworks, were not made of wood!

She rallied around, camcorder in hand,

and eventually we were able to make her dance to the band.

Her time with us, was gentle and mild.

Long walks, slow boat-rides, nothing extremely wild.

There was the farm work, the gathering of hay,

but Sandy said, this was what made her day!

How sad we were, to bid her farewell..........

we left her with Turtie, and I guess, they will tell.........

of the Cape and of Heather, of the cities as well.

Meanwhile as we wait, we do our level best ..........

to assure all the ladies, that Gavin needed the rest!

September 1997!!! Judy, lioness and his lordhsip.....at home.....

Its now a while since Gavie rested...............(he's had enough time)

Not that he was at all bested, he is a man in his prime!

Hayjud of cyber space, jumped onto a plane,

just to see this man of fame.............

He wined her, dined her, and took her travelling too,

he left her with the lioness, and they had a wonderful few..............

days of friendship, bonding and food................

Days of good friends, and chatting, with not much else todo.

Sadly, we had to return her, too short was her stay....

But for his Lordship and Yorkies, she made their day!

And now we will put poor Gavie to rest,

wait very patiently for all the best............of cyber friends, world wide,

to come out and stay........hell isn't this wondeful? this world? the fact that we can,

hug, touch and communicate and meet ...........is this the BIG plan?
