Advice To A Poetess Who's Chucked It All And Gone To Europe Poem by David McLansky

Advice To A Poetess Who's Chucked It All And Gone To Europe



The travels of the
Poor and healthy
Exceed the pleasures
Of the wealthy;
But when you're sick
And old and poxed,
A heated home
Exceeds a box.
So see the world
Explore its treasures
While boy and girl
And take its measure;
But before you're lame
Old and breathless
Secure an income
Oh youth still restless.
