Robert Sheridan
Voyager
Was thinking about taking a trip
But on the subject of the matter
I couldn’t make a decision – a
simple thing like this shouldn’t
require much thought – let’s see
now, is it called travel or passage;
will it be short or long; will it be
by flight or over water; will it be
a journey or expedition; will it be
a written account or the account
itself; will it be an enterprise or
undertaking; will it be to the Mts.
or the seven seas; will it be foreign
or to a local place; will it be
considered as material for a narrative,
or used in the plural; will I sail across
a desert or traverse the ocean depths;
will I bear the burden or use a transport;
Now my head is spinning ‘round – just
need to find a neutral corner – dear dairy...
