Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Wander Lust

When moving to a new location
Love to survey the land
Finding the nearest gas emporiums
A Starbucks close at hand

McDonald's which I frequent often
Food stores with all the best deals
Office supplies, lumber yards
Great restaurants for yummy meals

Soon we'll know where everything is
But exploring is half the fun
Discovering stores once far away
Now are just a very short run

It helps to eliminate those illegal u-turns
Which are really hard on the wallet
Soon we'll know where everything is
Reducing our petrol wallop

Moved quite a number of times in life
Find it exciting and fun
You'd think at the age of seventy-seven
My wander lust would all be done
