Then and Now

Bora-Bora seemed exotic 
  Bali and Mal -- tempting,erotic
The Arctic tundra, far away 
  The Congo, steamy: Stay away... 

Now the world has shrunken so
  No place is too far to go
That Star is but a parsec near
  Time to go; my ride is here

I'm like Frank Stockton, who wrote "The Lady and the Tiger." Just have to leave the ending, where the ride was taking me, up to you, the reader! :) gw
