All of This Education and No Summer Vacation

All of this education And yet no real Summer vacation. I recall all of my K-12 years 9-12 especially That was the essay Question that I often Hated. Where did you Go this summer? I didn't leave Monroe. Hearing that question Over and over again Each year filled my heart With drear and tears Wanted to fall But I had to be tough Hold those tears up Build my imagination And lie about the places That I wanted to see Across the nation. I write I went from Sea to shining sea To see historical beauty Of Washington, D.C. To view the presidential Library of JFK in Boston, Massachussetts, I was truthfully speaking When I was in downtown New Orleans eating po-boys And tasting bananas foster. I went back to a lie To the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia, Named by one of my favorite Scientific statesmen, Ben Franklin. I want to travel past The southern region From the East coast To the West coast For real instead of Telling a story. I've worked hard To gain an education I want to travel the Nation on a summer vacation. I will say today that I have all this education and no summmer vaction I want it to change Starting this year. My traveling from Sea to shining Sea is near. wrote 11-13-10
