I wish to travel

"I wish to travel and see my father"

People ask me what I'm doing when I get old,

But all I want to do is travel.

For now I have to do as I am told,

Or else my mother won't let me leave the gravel.

I wish my father was still here.

But I'll have to wait for my time to see him,

Which is nowhere near.

People tell me to keep saving my pennies,

But all I want to do is blow.

For now I'll hope for twenties,

Or else my mother wont let me go.
