The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 180 Poem by Flying Lemming

Off on another trip, this time I’m heading to Rome
I have my friend travelling with me as its better than going alone
Just a four day adventure, so packing is quite light
Also because we got a cheap deal and you cant take much on the flight
We have no set itinerary, we will just go with the flow
She has the guidebook and I have my hat so we are ready to go
The flight is fairly early, and we have traffic to beat
So we get up at stupid o’clock, and wander bleary eyed to the street
Then sitting for hours at the airport, until we finally get on
When you are waiting to get away everything seem to take long
The wheels rumble across the tarmac, and go silent as they lift off the ground
To me the start of a holiday is signalled by that lack of sound
