Your Waking Nightmare

Long past your prime years and you no longer young And in a foreign city where to you the people speak in a different tongue Unable to read the train signs and under mental duress And feeling confused due to far too much stress At the stress levels of a near mental breakdown Lost in a crowded railway station far from your hometown These things do happen to travelers every day Such is life as some do like for to say You ask many for directions but none your language do speak Such things in one's nervous system havoc does wreak Yet by some gift of good fortune beyond you to explain You somehow did manage for to board the right train And at your destination did safely arrive Your waking nightmare you have managed to survive.
