Places and Names: A Traveler's Guide

So many places have fabulous names,

Like Fried, North Dakota,

The Court of St. James,

Siberia, Nigeria, Elyria, Peru

The White Nile, Black Sea,

And Kalamazoo!

The Great Wall of China, South Pole and Loch Ness,

And 104 Fairview—that's my address!

Thousands of spaces are places to be—

Discover the World of GE-OG-RA-PHY!

Travel by boat or by car or by plane

To visit East Africa, Singapore, Spain.

Go by yourself or invite a good friend,

But traveling by poem is what I recommend.
