 I’ll Travel Soon, Lord Willing

 I’ll travel soon and that will make me smile\

I’ll be out of the country for a while

But I’ll first make my stops within the states

I found plane ticket prices at low rates

I am attacking to-dos by the pile

A government form can be quite a trial

Can’t do computers with finesse or style

If things will happen by appointed dates

I’ll travel soon

My trip encompasses many a mile

The lion, elephant and crocodile

The antelope, giraffe, and all the greats

I’ll learn new phrases and befriend new mates

I’ll buy some souvenirs of bright textile.

I’ll travel soon
