The mind has filled with thoughts of space, the night sky it welcomes us again, team yellow has stirred, look out ahead as lights flash and sirens wail. With six cars to protect her soul, our lovely Laurel hits the road, bounding along she looks so free. On the scene the press arrive watching eagerly as they drive, cameras rolling, runners strolling, the morning mist all warm and moist, glistens on muscles all taute and tight. The mellow day has now arrived, our minds wonder to the sky, filled with happiness as we play, loading up on the carbs of the day. Even bears stand out of the way as team yellow blazes the day. Wedding bells we hear them say, not on your nelly, we are here to play. The room its quint smelly and damp but with our minds we can blank. Early evening sees party in swing, tee shirt gift in exchange, the evening air could start to spin. All in all a pleasant day three old blokes and a pretty dame.
