Caravan to Samarkand

Our caravan to Samarkand,

will travel through a wonderous land.

There’ll be adventure ‘round every bend,

until we reach our journey’s end.

Our airship flies from Zanzibar,

through African skies we’ll travel afar.

Over plains. jungle and desert we flew,

to reach the far-off realm of Timbuktu.

Our liner sails the Seven Seas,

over oceans blue to isles green with trees.

When our ship docks, we’ll venture ashore,

to admire the beauty that we’ll both explore.

Alas, my adventures are only in my head,

for illness has confined me to a comfortable bed.

I long to escape, to travel and be free,

but now I’m overjoyed, because you’ve brought us our tea!
