CCV - Tourists as Sheep

.
Some people have more organised tours than others...


Tourists as Sheep

Carrying roses, they walk in a line,
Like sheep in a field, well crossed.
A plastic label displays their name,
In case the poor darlings get lost.

Orchestrated to the minute,
The group disappears afar.
Sipping beer from the side lines
I gently murmur ‘Baaa!’

  2. Some of us have no sense of direction in foreign lands, we need to be herded. :)

  9. To be part of a tour... or not to be. Maybe I'd join one if I were going to Turkey or Africa or someplace where I felt not necessarily 100% welcome as a US citizen. Otherwise, I like the sense of adventure and freedom.

  10. LOL! And was the sheep leader carrying a flag so that the others wouldn't be lost?
