I'm sitting here at the Airport in Amsterdam
I've checked in my luggage, happy I am
Looking a people, travelling the world 'round
Sipping a hot coco, listening to the Airport sound

Looking at people, wondering where they'll go
Maybe they look at me too, but lucky for me I know
I'm going to Nan's, where I will roam the shore
Of this big ocean, what else could this girl wants more

Some having luggage, I think they put their household in
Probably travelling to homelands and next of kin
Others carry golfbags, are you listening Balladeer
There's a whole bunch of golfplayers leaving here

In a few hours I have to board the aeroplane
Wondering if passing customs go fast or drive me insane
I'm not nervous, I brought some lolliepops with me
Because they won't allow me to smoke a cigarette you see

Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

I bet it was rough, going all that way without a cigarette. How long was your flight? I don't smoke, but my mom and my sister do, though they're trying real hard to quit now. It's not easy to do without a smoke, when you're used to it. Good poem.

Thanks, just wait, there are more to come

You got it right Nan, that's how my name is pronounced, but hey folks, I'll listen to anything you call me (well, almost anything LOL)

I'm off to the big ocean, it's just amazing and so different from our North Sea.

Just one of the reasons I think you're cool!!  I'm curious, how are the oceans different?  I know the Southern, Eastern and Western oceans here are very different.  What are your oceans like, Titia?
