The Happy Traveller. Comic poem 148 by Angela Lansbury.



 I'm the world's most happy traveller

I've travelled far and near

To the kitchen and the bathroom

Around the world with you, my dear


I've travelled to Australia

Austria, America, Malaysia

To places grander, and seedier

All through Wikipedia


Travelling makes you happier

Travelling makes you greedier

Travelling makes you dishevelled and dappier

Travelling make you needier


You want to travel when you're stuck at home

You want to be home when you're far away

Today you wish it was tomorrow

Tomorrow you'll wish it was today


Travelling makes you wise and proud

Of what you leave, you see, and do

I'm glad to say I've travelled so much -

I can count one country more than you.

Shall I change that to

'I have travelled to one place more than you' ?
