Whilst the New World undoubtedly has its exciting life style,
one should not ignore the Old World,
with its many Historically Important Sites.
".. ... an holy nation, a peculiar people"
(1st Peter 2.9)
I'd like to visit the Holy Land
Where the Dawn of Christianity was planned.
They have some Notably Ancient Sites
And a few Very Significant 'Heights'.
But then again, on the other hand,
There is quite simply, too much sand.
I like to think that I could see
The shores and boats of Galilee,
And sample the Bread 'n Fish Take-a-Way
That was surely there in J.C's day.
On second thoughts, it was simple fare,
And I wouldn't like the sand which is there.
I like to think that I could be
One of the thousands who daily see
The famous Stable and the Star,
That shone in the sky, that Night, from afar.
On reflection though, I don't think I might,
It's probably not safe to go out at night!
And so after all, I don't think I'll go,
Swimming, as ever, against the flow.
News of their conflict starts to pall
And it's probably not safe to go there at all!
