By Mory Keita
For many a century, I have plucked and pocked my nose,
Slept and visited place I did not visit or sleep at.
I have visited Caesar’s palace in Rome and sat at his dinner table.
I flew on a flying carpet to India and sat atop the Taj Mahal.
I have lived fairy tales and saved a princess from a evil dragon.
Then relaxing my muscles, I suddenly was transported in Egypt,
And felt in love with Cleopatra, fought with Mark Antoine and Caesar.
In short I have lived and traveled across the Milky Way in a hot bathtub,
And I have lived my life to the fullest like the great Ulysses.

Oh, the places I visit in a hot bath! The title is perfect for this piece, Mory. Nice Magpie.
sizzling tale.
I truly did not expect to be taken to far away places by you, only to end up where I started: in my bath. *applauding*
Your Magpie is inspiring me to reflect on the many cities and countries I have had that 'amazing soak' in.....
One's own mind is fascinating thing, it can transport and transform, as can your marvellous and breathtaking poem. I agree with Willow, the title is excellent :)
Mory this is absolutely perfect! You have captured the wonders that can emmerge from time to think and relax in the bath. Awesome writing!
:-)

Wonderful tales indeed nothing like a hot bath, good book and a little imagination to transport us to the best of places.
A wonderful place from which to travel!

my magpie
Wonderful images Mory...keep flying in your tub and in your dreams....blessings...bkm
Your tub is better than a Tardis!
"Oh, the places you'll go..." in a bathtub...I like! great magpie.
"In short I have lived and traveled across the Milky Way in a hot bathtub,
And I have lived my life to the fullest like the great Ulysses."
Lol, sounds like a dreamer to me. Interesting poem, a depiction of a proverbial wanna-be-man.
I can travel the world in all sorts of places, including the bath, in the midst of a boring meeting, at church, etc. I've always had a great imagination...also, I've been fortunate to REALLY travel the world.
At 65, I've done it! My poetry book - Life's Journey by Carmen Henesy - is out on Amazon!
( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )

I knoooowww.. a hot tub session can really take you places!! How relaxing!!
So very well said, Mory!!
Loved the excellent imagery!! I think I traveled all those places as I read this one... :)
There is no frigate like a book,
Nor cruise ship like a tub.
Bon Voyage!
i am glad to see that you like it. i really did not put any effort in writing this, so i apologize to everyone who expected from me something better than this.
this is wonderful. The travels that come from an imagination or a book and a bathtub. Fun :)
