I knew she was for me
The 'beacon' had to go though
So she could be set free
No longer a maintenance van
She was my pride and joy
I'd part-exchanged dear 'Henry'
My Mini Cooper boy
Driving over Dartmoor
Our first adventure began
Over hills and cattle grids
I love my Jessy van
We drove over to the seaside
To give her a different style
Swiftprint did some magic
Then after a little while......
Jessy was signwritten
Showing off my wares
A boxing glove adorned her paint
For all to stop and stare
Soon Jessy was 'Support Van'
For my first 'VC' event
She came in very handy
I didn't need my tent
Time passed by and miles too
She needed an MOT
A deal with a mechanic
And a trade for some PT's
Jessy did break down once
On the way to see Meschee
She came back on a loader
And home in time for tea
The fun and games continued
She helped my business well
'Where's Jessy?' competition
Was an easy game to sell
Her second Forces March event
And Stephen in command
Her charity work speaks for itself
So very rare to find
She did a third with Robin
And gave him cosy sleeps
Just writing this and thinking back
It gives me tears and weeps
She had a friend called 'Kermi'
A little speedy green
Soon to be replaced with 'Vagy'
They made the perfect team
Another friend then came along
And 'Cecil' is his name
A caravan for writing in
So Debbie gets some 'fame'
The trips to Appledore we had
So many memories
And now she's gone forever
When will this pain ease?
You could say she was just a van
And yes, I could agree
But all she did in four years
Made her special to me
Rest In Peace Dear Jessy
Or maybe used for spare?
Whatever happens to you
I'm just glad that you've been there
R.I.P. BT07 JSY - My wheels and support for over 4 years. You will be missed.
