Travels By Mind

Didn't you know?
I've been to New York, Paris, Rome?
No! I never even left my home. 

I've walked the beat with L.A. cops,
I even saw a bullfight once. 
For a year I loved with kings,
Oh, I have done some wondrous things.  

I've eaten snails in Somiland,
Ridden camels in Samarkand.
I slept by day on desert sand,
Rode by wagon to a new wild land.

I haven't missed a country or a war,
You may not think this true,'
I've even visited a galaxy or two.

I climbed mountains on the Isle of Skye,
Sailed the seas with Captain Bligh.
I walked the roads where greatness walked,
Went to Gettysburg when Lincoln talked.

Sorry, there is very little I didn't see or do.
If you had time I could tell you too.
Oh you really haven't got the time?

Oh, dear my friend,
You've got that look.
​I don't believe you ever read a book.
