Mine used to be overflowing until I learned a simple rule.

What’s a country that’s at the top of your bucket list?

The problem with a bucket is it can be half- empty or half- full,

Mine use to be overflowing until I learned a simple rule, 

Edit , revise and compromise and you’ll begin to see the truth,

 Travel is something to be done in your youth, 

Inconvenience , Challenge and Bad Hygiene,

Are reasons enough for me to vent my spleen,

Countries are fine and dandy there are so many,

But I don’t have to pass an exam in any, 

So a gentle amble across any border is as much as I will do,

Back in time for tea and toast and to have a chat with you.

Namaste , Thank You for Reading.
