My Bucket List

I shall not travel up to Alaska, I think, Where it’s mighty bleak, uninviting, and cold Nor to South Dakota just to see Mount Rushmore Where there is no longer any gold, so I am told. The rest of the fifty I have already seen So I’m venturing beyond our oceanic shore To some unfamiliar places in far distant lands Exotic sites calling to me as never before. At my age, my bucket list is nearly complete With two unique locations remaining to visit Lovely temples and peaceful pastoral scenes Thailand and Uruguay – not too much to ask, is it?
