Now this week I’m sharing
Just where I have been.
We flew to Italy
Unfurled our sails to the wind.
We took a clipper ship
With five masts, oh so tall
Went to 10 ports in the Mediterranean
We had a ball!
The cruise it was great.
The food, oh so good.
Trying not to eat too much
No more than we should.
On our return
We traveled about.
From Rome, to Florence to Venice
We walked quite a lot.
The Pantheon, Coliseum
The artists are there
Leonardo’s fine “David”
17 feet in the air.
Then it was Venice
A gondola ride
Oh, the Grand Canal
Our Pie in the sky.
Then off to Lake Como
Varenna, to be exact.
Cruising its fine shores
I might never come back.
Now we finished our trip
In Milan, don’t you know
The Duomo and Last Supper
By Michelangelo.
It was quite a trip.
Oh, the sites we did see
Culture and artists and antiquity.
I’ll sum it right up
I hate to be a bore.
I’m happy to be in Carson City
Home, sweet home once more.
