Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Return of the Tourists

The Circle Line is chugging by,
The tourists coming back,
Perhaps because the vaccination
Rates are right on track.

Museums have been opening,
The Gardens and the zoos.
The clubs are back in business;
There are many things to choose.

I’m not quite ready to step out
From inside my cocoon,
But as I watch life moving on,
I hope to do so soon.

Before I travel, first I’ll try,
Like tourists on that boat,
To wade into the sea of life
To see if I can float.

Rico Leffanta June 17, 2021 at 11:20 AM Aye, the tourists are back, but they are bringing the Delta strain with them, so take care!

Chris Green June 17, 2021 at 10:38 AM Nice one Ilene...the tourist are returning but what about those who fled the city? Love your style, it is always so much fun to read.
