The Wanderlust It Is Stiil In Me Poem by Francis Duggan

The wanderlust it is still in me for Lands that i never will see
And though i am one of the ageing the spirit of adventure is alive in me
I have only been to six Countries not what one would call a well traveled man
I have not been to China or Russia or India or Pakistan
I do live far from my birth Country in sky miles far south of my first home
But i have not seen some of the World's great Cities such as Paris or Rio or Rome
I'd love to visit the Serengeti where amazing wildlife range free
And i dream of boating on the Amazon River but a dreamer is all i can be
For to travel one needs heaps of money and air fares i cannot afford
Of living long term in the one place i am one who becomes very bored
I am not a well traveled person though i live far south of Clara Hill
I have never been to Turkey or Egypt, Germany, Italy, Argentina or Brazil
The wanderlust it is still in me for Cities and Countries far away
Though the years have left me looking older and the hair on my balding head is silver gray.
