I've been gone and now I'm back
Was so hard to book a ticket
I had the need but I ended up
Negotiating a thicket.
My flight was delayed even though I had paid
To no avail someone else circled my wallet
But it was full of receipts but no money
I had paid it forward without a memory of what I thought was funny.
Winging my way towards Tibet and a mountain
Clothed in circling clouds I was not allowed to dissent
My payment had been refused
So I descended from my mount to study my account.
As expected I was in debit to another's credit
The Dali lama would not accept my cash
Unless I paid with Peruvian Mountain Hash
So I succumbed.
