Walking

In a foreign city,
It's wonderful to walk.
Who needs sitting on a bus
And hearing tour guides squawk?

I love to wander with a map,
Meander down each street;
Discover hidden treasures,
So surprising and so sweet.

Today I ambled through Madrid,
Nine hours without sitting;
Though I was exhausted,
There was not a thought of quitting.

I recommend to travelers
To city-tour on foot,
And keep it up until the time
Your energy's kaput!
