Post-Travel Reflections

Could it be true what people say?

While it is fine to go away,

Explore fine cities, meet old friends

And get on board with fun, new trends,

 

It’s also great to come back home

And ponder quietly on one’s own …

Three months means nest in layers of dust

So, a big clean-up is a must!

 

But summer here with long warm days

Combined with jet-lag, cause a daze;

While all is buzzing in Grand-Place

Keen tourists now return – en masse!

 

Exciting times! We contemplate

The world’s uncertain, changing state:

With climate threats, Hong Kong debate,

The price of gas, Zelensky’s * fate…

 

Complacency gives way to fear;

Whichever way you look, it’s clear

That airline strikes and monkey pox

Still linger in Pandora’s box!

Pandora ...!
