Be Sure To Buy Roundtrip Ticket

Be Sure to Buy Roundtrip Ticket 
(Just in case.)

In America, we are always so spoiled
Like lavish living and nothing soiled
Never need to handle anything with care
There is always good old wash and ware.

When you want to know how things grow
For everything is an elegant TV show
If things stop working or won't connect
On line, right person you can select.

Computer even came with a cookbook
Which is where my wife seems to look;
To make sure she doesn't miss a stage
Goes ahead and prints out one more page.

Cute English people are clustered together
And why with all of that lousy weather
I too would surely start raising a fuss
To good old USA, should come along with us.

Of course, I know from their perception
For every rule their is at least one exception
In USA, people protested and started to picket
Aren't you glad you bought a round trip ticket.

One more to go before I call it quits for a while.

And how did you come upon my poem that I just wrote a short while ago? Having people from all around the world is stunning and incredible. I am from Bolivia, NC, married for 48 years and receiving messages from all of you nice young ladies. Not only that, now I have to find time and go back and read some of your poems which I surely want to do. Jim Horn
