If you are thinking of travelling worldwide
then I’d recommend you get a good guide
not a local taxi driver or someone like Tonto
who showed The Lone Ranger the way to go
I’d suggest getting one to read
that’s the type you will need.

Crimson’s Creative Challenge #269 #Buried in the sands of time
I was clearing away the brambles and nettles
and on the ground saw the glint of metal
then I realised that what I’d got
was an intact ancient Roman pot
they nearly always have a story
a history that is often gory
for some contain just powdered ash
others are often stuffed with cash
coins of copper, silver or gold
and all of them so very old
