The Journey

I was bored and strapped for cash, Badly needing a vacation. So I took a voyage of the mind, With my vivid imagination. Across the open seas I sailed, To some far and distant lands. While perched atop a camel's back, In caravans on desert sands. I climbed the Himalayas, Beneath a Sherpa as my guide. To see Nepal and then Tibet, The Dalai Lama by my side. Crossed the Great Wall of China, In a mammoth hot air balloon. Floating high in a starlit sky, Tipped my hat to the Crescent Moon. Back to Earth, I made my way, Skimming the Sea of Japan. To the Port of Tokyo, In a rickety Saipan. Growing weary from my travels, My mind no longer fit to roam. Next time I'll visit other sites, For now it's time to journey home.
