Going My Way

We're on a journey of exploration, a long-deferred vacation There's room for you too … Come with us, and your essence renew We've been so busy surviving, striving, never quite thriving It's time to live life large, hire a sea-worthy vessel, a sturdy barge First it's off to Africa, to distant shores, hottest jungles and desert sands There to unearth unknown civilizations, man's oldest bones, in buried lands Then we set sail for the Isle of Atlantis, with the help of a 'sea sherpa(nt),' who in Atlantis will plant us We're sure to find this isle 20,000 leagues under the sea, with the help of Jules Verne and Walt Disney After that we'll blast off into Space, bidding adieu to terra firma's rat race We'll rocket past Saturn, Neptune, Uranus---and learn how our galaxy works to sustain us... When we return, we'll have stories to tell, a feature-length movie, a best-seller as well About our journey of exploration and how we managed it all ~ from the comfort of a virtual play-station Entry in "Dealer's Choice Poetry Contest" (Going My Way) Sponsor: Caren Krutsinger
