My Viva's On Visa

A pyramid tour On my bucket list Approach by camels Cross an oasis Play mahjong with sheiks In hot desert tents Where harem girls dance Through wafting incense Explore monuments With ancient secrets Engraved sarcophagi Sanskrit alphabet The airfare alone Would make some withdraw Camel rental's high The pricetag's the flaw To cross the ocean For vacation viva Need huge chunk of change From Uncle Visa * For Linda-Marie's Viva Vacation challenge

Yes, that is a real problem! As we are all born into our world by accident, travels should be free wherever we'd like to go! I remember th fellows renting camel for a ride in the Sinai Desert once, but only took a picture...Lovely penned Quatrain, Calolyn! I got many kind responses on posting my poems also in German...I think it is a good experience for all who still know the language. Vielen Dank für die Kommentare!!!...Love, Gert

Carolyn, Words are the only thing I know. I'm no good with tools. I don't hunt and I don't fish. But I played basketball pretty well but I'm too old for that now. So I dribble words to keep my mind sharp. I want to grow old enough, as they say, to be a burden to my kids. Just kidding. I have to say that because people on this site are pretty serious and they sometimes think I mean everything I say. Most of it I make up. That's why I was an editor and not a reporter. Donal

Good luck with "Uncle Visa." I understand that camels stink - saw it in an Indiana Jones flick. Camels are wonderful, not the cigarette, the animal. Greatest face ever created. Love, Dave

Quirky Quatrain Carolyn, Egypt would be an interesting place to visit. They are still finding Tombs. They were digging foundations for a new school, and hey presto, they found a few of them. Good luck in the contest >> James
