For Real Toads: on the road

Much has been written, in prose, verse and song, about travel. The prompt for today at the writers' group Imaginary Garden with Real Toads is "On the Road". As I ostensibly write a travel blog (not so's you'd notice any more) you'd think all manner of eloquence would come to mind, but nothing did, except my usual doggerel.

On the Road

Sometimes we’re on the road in our car

Sometimes we’re in the air

But we’re seeing the world,

Now that we can.

*
We’re seeing the world

When our health will allow,

And enjoying

As much as we can.
*  

The people we meet

When we’re on the road

Are much like the people at home,

But they’ve seen other things

And done other things

And know other things

We don’t know.
*  

So we talk and we learn

And we laugh and learn more

On far foreign shores, on the road.
