Travel Tanka

By air, land or sea
people have longed to achieve
some fond memories
mostly still travel by car
dire straits wont get you too far

Snarled traffic delays
driving round the holidays
sit and grit your teeth
you watch gas tank go to "E"
bladder bursting at the seams!

oh, that second tanka I can sure relate to . Someone needs to design a bottle that GIRLS can pee into. (I wonder if one exists because sometimes I can sure use one!!)

Cheryl, I like your humor. I am lucky to have all my family in the immediate area so I don’t have to travel over the holidays. Happy new year my poetic friend, may 2018 be the best ever! John
