Round and round the world you go
flying doctor? no, teachers fly high and low
literally too high altitudes and low places
while this breath is still your own, and you leave your traces

the world is your oyster when you teach
much of what is learned from priests who preach
if you criss-cross the road to other sides
trips around the world's belly will tan your hide.

Around the world in less than eighty days on tow
where do you get off? somebody ought to know
how to add insight to our cramped artistic palettes
how to swallow different sites to fill our gullets.

Good job here, Martin....I remember reading that book in high school French class...
"Around The World In Eighty Days"
I enjoyed the trip.

Hi Lyra,

never read the book completely, but saw the film, I think!
