The One Who Has Knocked About

Though he has been in many Lands and places the one who has knocked about He feels he is a failure in his moments of self doubt He has seen India's and China's big cities been in Tokyo and Rome Been in London, Paris, Athens and New York and other cities far from Home Not patriotic or nationalistic in any sort of a way to such type he does not belong But the wanderlust is in him and in him it is strong There is so much of the World he says he has not yet seen The far off Lands do beckon and the far off hills are green One who never was a member of any community or any sporting club I met him on a stop off on his travels at the local pub A dark haired fellow perhaps in his late twenties he was easy to talk to As he conversed on his travels and things he did plan to do Surely a well traveled young person in the prime of his life and carefree So many Countries he has been in he says he has many more to see He stopped off at the pub on his travels on his way home by car to the next town The man with the wanderlust in him in any one place could not settle down
