A hearty welcome from this land,
Across the boiling sea,
I thought I would stop in to say hello,
From Charlie and from me.
We've been rather indisposed of late,
I've been working rather hard,
It's enough to frustrate any mortal type,
Including this humble bard.
My new job turned out to be great,
I applied for it and others,
I got some interviews from my CV,
Like my principally sisters and brothers.
It turns out that of the interviews,
They only numbered two,
But it seems I won both jobs,
Surprising, let me tell you.
Whilst I enjoyed my current job,
I chose another place,
It's nice to get a big promotion,
The smile's still on my face.
The sad news is that we must move,
To a place 200 miles away,
We have to pack up and sell our house,
Sad news I must say.
But we are excited about the news,
It isn't really that far,
Besides, the new place is really fantastic,
With a new kitchen and a spa!
Thus explains our lack of presence,
With our treasured horde,
And the lack of Oz-ite wisdom,
Fouling the UV board.
We move in another couple of days,
There is so much to do,
But we look forward to our new challenge,
By the Pacific Ocean blue.
So, when next we meet I will be different,
And Charlie will be too,
We'll be far more relaxed in the spa,
Thinking of all of you!

Cheers from the Land of Oz
