And now for a segue...

Went to Newport today
to ride on a Segway.
I rode it near and far
to Corona Del Mar.
I rode it far and near
out along the wooden pier.

Far, near
kept it in first gear.
Near, far
stopped for a Balboa bar.

Far, near, here, there,
I rode it everywhere.

With the grace of an Ocelot,
like gallant Sir Lancelot
in the days of ol' Camelot.

I rode with stylish panache.
I'd make proud my Jill and Josh.
In great joy, I was awash.

Without any screech,
gliding by the beach.
Zooming by the sand's edge,
as I drove out to the Wedge.

Continuous motion
along the blue ocean.
A gift that made me happy,
from my beautiful family.
