Eleventy Thousand Miles
-------------------------------
Word Lady
won't talk
on the phone.
Goes all day.
She's deprived!
Hmf so
email airlines
we crows fly.
Dodge Indian
conglomeration.
Whiz through Pakistan
'cause I can.
Little round hats in Turkey
I overlook.
Buzzing bursting
IEDs, in Iraq.
Im the breeze in a veil
in Iran.
ia
ia
ia ia
Not perman'ly
In Deutschland
(yet, new reader
say hello!)
But a whiffle
through the Eiffel.
Back to Blighty
tonight.

Thankyou for answering my question so well as usual, Google! "How far from my place to London?" (Google Map. )
"All shall be well, I'm telling you, let the winter come and go
All shall be well again, I know."
"Way down the street there's a light in his place
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything."
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face
And he asks you where you've been
You tell him who you've seen
And you talk about anything."
Excerpt from Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty

Nice poem by the way.
I love that song Baker Street.
Loved the toons. Hadn't heard the first one before. Very thought provoking.
Well done with the poem. That was very lovely of you.
Wow is it 11,000 miles. That's far!
Thank heaven for emails ;)
Xxx
I was guessing 11000 to Your city , but it's actually slightly less than to London, which I didn't expect. I've just looked it up, 10,521 miles.
The word eleventy was to honour the writer of Paddington Bear, who's just died. (To those who don't know, Paddington likes his "elevenses" or as we call that in Aus, morning tea .)
Did anyone figure out the ia ia ia ia? Clue, it's geographical. Might need a map of Europe.
Love your poem....
Ah, but did you figure out the ia iaia?
