Around the World in 80 Ways

Around the world in 80 days
Around the world in 80 ways
On a boat or
Speeding train
Holding on a horse’s mane
Forward
Backward
Upside-down
In the sky or
Underground
Bumpy camel
Hairy yak
Pogo-stick or
Turtleback

There – a list of ten plus two
I’ll leave the rest
for you to do
