Staycation

Far Away Places With Strange Sounding Names - Photo by Author

 ~ Staycation ~

I’ve been away for a day or two
a staycation you might say
escaped the walls I live in
on the pages of a book

I traveled through it’s chapters

as on a train across the land

- left my world behind me

wandered round the bend

through chapter after chapter

I watched the world pass by

while I, with all the friends I

met unravelled mystery

I napped when I felt tired

I barely stopped to eat

I took no calls or emails

this was a two day treat

and when traveling was over

with me safely back at home

I sighed deep sighs of satisfaction

this great vacation's done!
