No Frills

Journeying intrepidly across the globe we roam

Bags on back

Clothes tight packed

in rolls to save some space

Tents and sleeping bags also

You know, just incase

Toothbrush in the side pocket

With soap, towel and shower gel

All those toilet necessities

Not forgetting deodorant as well

Other pocket for *** bits

Such as pen, pad an... Uhhh 'Dictionnaire'

Once you've settled in a bit

It's nice to show you care

By taking an effort to learn the language

Or at least a phrase or two

Not just the 'parle anglaise?' Or 'specken ze English?'

Stuff that'll get you through.

You want to be able to ask for a

Arancia, a Birne or even a Manzana

I mean your gonna need an orange a pear and an apple... well. aren't ya?

Then comes the paperwork

The booking

The flights

The bills

Practically impossible to get a holiday no frills.

Written by Josh Morter

Been a while since I wrote anything, decided to have a go at something with a pace to it that was more conversational... Got half way through I felt and then hit a blank. But for now it's ample!
