Traveller Poem by John Bliven Morin

Cleopatra I've wooed,
with Shakespeare shared food,
gone to war with Jeanne d'Arc;
On mammoth I've dined,
and the dinosaur kind,
But not in a Jurassic Park.

The Sahara I've durst,
without any thirst,
the pole caps without any freeze;
to the depths of the sea,
I have swum wild and free,
as easy and bold as you please.

The world I have seen,
to the past I have been,
tomorrow has been a small leap;
I've been light years in space,
while still in one place,
In my dreams, when I am asleep!
