Bookstrings 11

I have been around the world Deepest, darkest corners of the globe Down south, up north Up high in the air time countless Through routes criss-a-cross Many times on sea sails I have seen the world greatest cities Lived in the thickets of the sahara Several nights in the African jungle Mingled with red Indians in Guatemalan forests Been in and out of oval office The white house the Americans pride I’ve felt the might of the Kremlin In the Duma of the Aryan race Gone under below the earth In Australia, the lone continent Gazed boldly at crown of Elizabeth Like a Duke in Edinburgh palace I’ve dined and wined at the so rock In Abuja the power place of Africa Been amused and excited beyond expression I’ve let flow flood of tears Felt pains and agonies deep to the marrow All on the platter of books And behold!, the wide world Before my very eyes and mind To wander and wonder.
