Jared Pickett Poet I do not know?

Pto

Paid Time Off, 
it is time to explore.
Bus ticket in hand,
route carefully planned,
the engine begins to roar..

the greyhound slices across the terrain,
in the rain.
Slipping and sliding, I'm nervous,
as we swerve into the oncoming lane.
Hail cracks the window pane 
next to me.
It is hard to relax..
I think I'll switch to Amtrak!!

Carolyn Devonshire March 28, 2010 at 5:12 PM Witty and very descriptive, Jared. Amtrak has its troubles too, but bus travel is the most affordable and you do get to see a lot of the countryside. I'll take a jet anytime! Love, Carolyn
