The Hop On And Hop off At Washington


The hop on and hop off bus

landed me in a stress

being a new way to see the city

never an invasive way to do so-a real pity.

The hop on at first  loop

was exciting in the hoop

as the stops got ahead

was not so interesting in all stead.

The Big Bus, red, blue and yellow

went around Washington with a bellow

the popular ones with the expensive fee

certainly, not the only way to see.

I hopped on and off in intervals

saw through the place at levels

this Museum for a few second

that monument in a split second.

Got on the blue and then the red

knowing not where they led

Yet I, without any disbelief

saw the capital with no relief.

Walked I up and down the city

went around the White House in gaiety

did not perceive anything in intense

Well! my sojourn ended up in nonsense.

I propose not this way of sight-seeing

as it is a disproportionate  indulging

the method to see is one by one

that would  be the best way in the run.

I reconciled myself as having seen the most

said to me demurely  that I have lost

almost nothing in the means I choose

thus, I remain so all through the course.

On To The Itinerary


On to my itinerary  seeing cities of fame 

came next to NewYork the capital of U.S 

down south called after the first President

who conjoined the thirteen colonies

into United States Of America

formed the government meticulously

framed the charter of governance diligently

by burning the midnight oil incessantly

focusing on a new union altogether

a success he achieved not in sleep

but through hard work and master plan

set a precedent rather  unassuming

nation carved  from a virgin land

made it shine in glory and excellence

earned itself a name of “Big Brother”

triumphantly steered its path

became the world leader of the class

be it in an economy, education and prosperity.

Well, I have drifted apart from the  city

that holds attractions vast and myriad

one of a kind linked to memorials

that of to monuments, museums

centres of learning, the Capitol Hill

the famed White House, George town

all in a package  so hard to resist

yet have to forgo many in the stride

as time is the reason essential to count

replenishing the pocket  with more

so George_Washington_1 as to set the goal of seeing all in one go.
