Twelve Ways to Traverse the Globe
1.Airport rushes and crushes, growing cross.
2.A sleek ocean glide like an albatross.
3.Budget backpack filling a study gap.
4.Big bucket list tick with walking stick tap.
5.As the crow flies, zigzagging like a hare,
traipsing like a tortoise without a care.
6.Heart harp-singing with an uncluttered mind,
embracing the dancing colours you find.
7.On moonlit Pegasus guided by stars,
serenading space folk on a guitar.
8.Hurtling on a broomstick with a black cat.
9.Munching doughnuts on a magical mat.
10.Night flight, holding tight a dark dragon’s tail.
11.With TV remote - safer sofa sail.
And I’m choosing …
12.Happily humming and whistling a tune
with a poem picnic in a balloon!
