I think <br />travelling with Kep <br />would be rather fun. <br /> <br />For one thing, <br />he doesn't make lists. <br />(I loathe lists!) <br />For another, <br />he doesn't panic, <br />even if we're running late. <br /> <br />He's also really nice, <br />with a Pooh Bear sort of humour, <br />and he listens, <br />even when he's not really interested. <br /> <br />Of course, he listens mostly <br />because he IS interested, <br />REALLY interested <br />in all sorts of things. <br /> <br />Like keys for instance - <br />'Mum, which key do you like best, <br />F major of D major? ' <br /> <br />And capitals - <br />'Dad, what's the capital of Ecuador? ' <br />(he used to collect capitals like some people collect stamps.) <br /> <br />And silly names - <br />'Dan, would you like to be called <br />Lady Lavinia Dunfunkin Trumpet? ' <br />(Poor mum was called Enid, which she hated) <br /> <br />She adored Keppel. <br />Used to take him for 'drives' <br />when he was small. <br />'Dan, let's go for a drive down this road' <br />and they'd set off for the afternoon <br />exploring. <br /> <br />Later he would make her a map <br />with tiny icons neatly penciled <br />(he is a Virgo after all) <br /> <br />Yes, <br />travelling with Kep <br />would be fun.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ideal-travelling-companion/
