Lincoln highway

I’m going to a place I’ve never been,

gonna make out like bandits.

I took a picture in the twilight,

just to find a map for you.

Here we are in Kentucky,

finding where Lincoln called home.

Up next is Illinois,

on a road called Lincoln highway.

Took a penny and I left it there,

who knows,

I might run for congress.

But, in the back of my mind,

I’m going to Illinois on the Lincoln highway.

This is a lot of fun. Flippant and whimsical- the best kind of road trip poetry. Well done.
