The Tourist Shops

The tourist shops have lots of stuff Nobody really needs, But that's an observation that Nobody really heeds. For people on vacation spend Much more when they're away On items that, if seen at home, Within the store would stay. Though really, isn't that the point Of traveling afar - Detaching from routines to be The way you think you are?

Your first verse is a winner, but aren't you amazed at all the tourist souvenirs that appear on Antiques Roadshow? Aloha! Rico
