Caravan to Samarkand
By JPYoung
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!
