You Just Can't Win

  
     A horse, a bicycle, an automobile
        What can possibly go wrong

     Engine and brake fails to carjack steals
        With my two feet, same old song

     So I rely on buses, trains and planes
         fewer accidents ~ more strain

I vote for riding a train...something soothing about a train ride...the scenery and the clickety clack.

Hi Gershon, I haven’t flown on a plane since 1989, and it’s been a little longer since riding a train. Quit driving two years ago. Wish I could go to Gettysburg National Park/battlefield, but will have to be content with taking a virtual tour one of these days when I set aside 2-3 hours. My dag-gone arthritis would be problematic with traveling there. My pastor and a group of church members are going to Israel next June. I envy them.
