Taking a Trip

Leaving home to take a trip Invites a lot of stress, For whether things go just as planned Is anybody’s guess. Within your comfort zone you know The rules and the routines, The details all at your command With few surprising scenes. Yet out of bounds all bets are off And so much can go wrong, As unfamiliar routes demand The proof that you belong. It’s easier, of course, to stay At home, without a doubt, But there are times a different land Is worth the getting out.
