Ten Thousand Places

With ten thousand places to go And it won't cost me a dime, Just to walk a block or so ... Takes a few minutes of my time And it won't cost me a dime To borrow one library book, Takes a few minutes of my time To browse around and look ... To borrow one library book Is to open up a great door, To browse around and look ... At a place never known before Is to open up a great door A thing that I dare to do ... At a place never known before Then, o, to walk on through A thing that I dare to do ... And need to, o, so badly, Then, o, to walk on through And disappear ever madly And need to, o, so badly Just to walk a block or so ... And disappear ever madly With ten thousand places to go.

I wrote a few pantoums. Always difficult for me, and I labor to use rhyme. You wrote a wonderful poem.
