Ten Reasons to Take A Road Trip

It is not necessary to pack everything 
you need into a vehicle that gets too small

after days on the road but you do it anyway
because you want to see the countryside.

Miles of desert lands can be overwhelming
and too hot even in the comfort
of air conditioning 

but the first reason to get away
is to break the lull of the mundane.

Second reason is to see the country 
from another point of view.

Number three discover the tourist’s traps
and avoid them if possible.

Four, drive through the farmlands
with the cows and red barns.

Number five, visit Niagara Falls 

six, stay in Cape Cod for three days. 

Seven, sleep in a wigwam motel if you can find one.

Number eight, eat at local restaurants

and visit every Wal Mart along the route
to see American’s in their natural habitats.

Number nine, yearn 
for your own bed and house

Ten, to finally arrive
and sleep for a week.
