TOURISM

They call me Mr Tourist
And my wife Mrs Tourist
Our son they call Junior Tourist...
If only they know
These are not our real names…

They say our work
Is to travel from place to place
In far away lands,
To see animals and new people
Mountains and rivers
If only they knew that’s only a hobby……

They say we’ve lots of money
To board in top class hotels
And to buy expensive gifts
For our friends and loved ones
If only they knew
It is our life-long savings……….

They claim we benefit more from the visits
We’d like to think they benefit more
From the landing and departure fees
Game park entry fees, etc.
Anyway, why don’t we all agree
That the benefits are all ours?
