Vagabond
"The Vagabond life is the logical life to lead if one seeks the intimate knowledge of the world we are seeking." Richard Halliburton
The vagabond walked down my street.
He was a pleasure to meet.
He told me how far he had come,
And how he enjoyed living like a bum.
In Africa, he found where the Nile River began,
Located in a country called Sudan.
The vagabond found tall Pyramids to explore,
And the elephants and giraffes were hard to ignore.
Next, he moved on to Spain,
Where he found himself in a cool, refreshing rain.
He saw nudity on the beach,
And in Running of the Bulls, he was just out of reach!
Next on his list was Brazil, via boat.
In the Amazon River, he took a float.
The vagabond cheered and yelled at a game of football,
And danced the night away at the Rio Carnival.
Finally, he traveled through Mexico to the USA,
And that is where I met him today.
He said his travels are far from being done.
The vagabond will travel to each state just for fun!
