Sightseeing at Home

My husband and I love to travel And in cities we like to explore – Museums and zoos And places with views, Plus gardens and markets galore. We wander down street unfamiliar; Try restaurants that we don’t know And sometimes we chat About where we’re all at With some locals we’ll meet as we go. Yet today, a few subway stops took us To a cool park that we’d never seen And I felt, I must say, Just like we were away, Getting out of our normal routine. There are treasures so often forgotten In the cities where we rest our heads And we needn’t go far To get to where they are And still sleep in our own cozy beds!
