Travels Taught Me a Good Lesson

Travel taught me one precious thing, There is always better Elsewhere, You love your village, visit the Tyrol, You love Cathy, Sue has more beautiful blue eyes, My travels taught me to change buses often, You’ve seen Paris, go see the bayous of New Orleans, You have gently cultivated your garden, go help the little children From Burkina Faso, My travels taught me something, There is always better elsewhere, You read James Joyce, go discover Jack London in San Francisco, You enjoyed Chenonceau, go discover Schönbrunn Palace, You saw the Big Dipper, go see Cassiopeia, travel again, You reread Rimbaud, go see the Grand Canyon, My travels taught me this precious thing, There is always better elsewhere, It is since travelling far away, that I learnt what really matters.
