At the end of April I get a nice break from school for the summer...but I really need to find a job. That isn't too far away, I hope................................................................................ |

The Road goes ever on and on,
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the road has gone,

Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet,
And whither then? I cannot say.
