My dearest companion, I didn’t realise When I decided to bring you to that cursed Wednesday run that it would be the last time that I set my eyes on You, darling travel partner in old cloudy Britain
Oh the glorious trips, the thrilling lows and heights The wonder inspired by the ever-changing horizon The many encounters, the fascinating lives The unforgettable memories we share are legion

But I shall not be stopped. I will follow new trails To the sweet taste of adventure I shall not say goodbye I’ll go around the world, and tell people the tales Of all the escapades we had, you, my Brompton and I
