What Country Shall We Go To? Poem by margaret haig

What Country Shall We Go To?



What country shall we go to? For our holiday,
Shall it be in Europe, Asia, USA, or the islands, which way?
What if we do a world trip, go get some brochures and see,
Which will be the most interesting holiday for me?

Let's now think of U.k. Like Scotland, or Wales,
Then what about Ireland or isle of wight, see the yachts sails;
We could stay in London, go see on board a decker bus, visit the Queen,
There's plenty of great shops to try, and buy souveniers, is where I'll be seen.

Now catch a ferry across the Thames, into France, for a cake or two,
Try some frogs legs, to eat, see the Eiffel tower too;
Next will be Italy, see the olive vineyards Everywhere,
Try. To eat some great pasta, like spaghetti, n pizza if I dare.

Now what about to Vienna, hear the choirs sing,
Then travel to Venice, thru the streets in a condola they'll bring;
Back to Sweden, and to Austria, see each home so well built,
Go skiing in the mountains of Switzerland, if cold, I'll take the guilt.

Now! Let's go to Amsterdam, see the tulips everywhere,
Travel on a barge, And wear clogs, and great cheeses we'll share;
Now to Germany see where the musicians lived in their day,
Go see Russia, and then to Spain, watch the horses dance, oh yea.

I think we have a rest lets ride the suez canal, and take a day or two,
Oh already we have seen a lot of glorious sights, yes this s true;
Tomorrow we'll go to India, see the Taj mahal, as well,
Go for a ride on an elephant, Hear every temple bell.

Now we've taken a plane, and gone to USA,
See the Washington monument, is what I'd say;
There's Disneyland, and in Florida, we could stay,
Then to the grand canyon, that area is so vast,
We won't go to Vegas, because our money will not last.

I won't be going anywhere, near tornadoes at all,
But let's go to niagara, and see the largest waterfall;
Up to Canada, to Ottawa, and see the Mounties there,
Down to the great lakes, On a houseboat we will share.

Shall we go home via Honolulu, and hawaii too,
Checkout all the places they surf, which I wont do;
Now to the islands and finish with Asia, well see,
Like Japan, china, Indonesia, and malay for me;

There is also Korea, don't forget some gifts for a friend,
So now weeks have passed, enjoyed the trip, and it's come to an end.
