Ten litres

10th January 2003


Our van was old; but still it drove
Adelaide; our destination for that day
Vanessa was almost 18 years old
Finally we'd meet her friend from on-line
LOTR the Two Towers; we drove to see
Picture theatre near the park; so neat


At Murray Bridge we stopped  for drinks
Suddenly; I got the urge; "Buy ten litres of water"
I took it to the car; my family amazed
"What do you need so much water for?"
"Something told me to buy this!"
Told them of the urgency; they just laughed!
But took the information in!
Tim checked the water at the garage
Making sure that we'd find no need!


So off we went and had our fun
Watched the movie and enjoyed it all
Met Andres with the longest hair
We'd meant to visit Nana for her birthday
But time ran out; it got too late!
On the way back towards our home
On the free-way heading to Murray Bridge
The van was struggling; heating up!
We had to stop and check it all!
Too hot to handle at the first
We let it cool and the opened her up!
The screw-on cap on the radiator
Was not properly on; thus had emptied out!
The ten litre bottle was opened up
Radiator re-filled; all ready to go!
Off we went; homeward ho!
