Whoever Said The World Is Small

I've travelled far from my old home Yet I've not been to Paris or Rome Just two of the many Cities I have not seen Yet I have travelled in places brown and green Though many have seen far more than me I write of the beauty I see Though time on my life ticks on ceaselessly I'm getting on in years sixty three It is a big World the World out there And not one who has been to everywhere Whoever said the World is small When it is quite huge overall From the stream of the brown mountain trout One might say I've ventured far south.
