Old Jake

Old Jake can lay claim to the tag of the true evergreen So much of the great World we live in he has seen Unmarried he fathered a daughter who has children to him she does not live anywhere near One he has not seen for well over a year, One who has seen much of the big World out there With great stories to tell of his travels elsewhere One well might say he is a well travelled man He has been to China, India and Japan Though born and raised in Australia he says the World is his home He has been to Paris and London and Rome To Moscow and Montreal, Baghdad and Berlin And Rio, New York and Capetown are Cities he has lived in He has travelled by boat on the Amazon the great South American waterway And though in his early seventies the lust of the wander is in him today.
