A shuttle to the monorail
And local to express
Travel through the hopping city
Brings out one’s very best

No more tokens or tickets
Just zip-quick credit card scan
Next a ride to car rental
In careening, screeching van

Throw in a carousel!
A Ferris wheel!
Don a top hat and five-inch heels
Converse with fellow travelers
Hear their triumphs and woes
Keep a careful eye on your purse
Don’t step on any toes

Makes sense to me
As for drinks —
Perhaps coffee, iced tea?

A hoodie not parka
Don’t whack others in the nose
And safe and happy travels
Wherever you may come or goes!
