When travelling abroad in the continental style

it´s my belief one must attempt to be discreet

And to subsequently bear in mind your transient

position allows you a perspective that´s unique

And though you´´ll find itinerary´s blessing

and curse

your wanderlust won´t let you settle down

and you´ll wonder how you ever fathomed that

you´d be content to stay within the city limits of a

small Midwestern town

Most vagabonds I knowed don´t ever want to find

the culprit that remains the object of their long

relentless quest

the obsession´s in the chasing and not the

apprehending

the pursuit you see and never the arrest


Without fear of contradiction "bon voyage" is

always hollered in cunjunction with a handkerchief

from shore

by a girl who drives a Rambler and furthermore is

overly concerned that she won´t see him anymore

Planes and trains and boats and busses

characteristic´ly evoke a common attitude of blue

unless you have a suitcase and a ticket and a

passport

and the cargo that their carrying is you

A foreign affair juxtaposed with a stateside and

domestic´ly approved romantic fancy

is mysteriously attractive due to circumstances

knowing it will only be parlayed into a memory
