Ok, I know this isn’t great literature.  I just found it while going through my 5th grade keepsake box, and was struck by the way the topic presaged my career.

 

 

MAPS

 

High adventure
And bright dream;
Maps are mightier
than they seem:

Ships that follow
Leaning stars --
Red and gold of
Strange bazaars --

Ice flows hid
Beyond all knowing,
Planes that ride
Where winds are blowing!

Train maps, maps of
Wind and weather,
Road maps -- taken
Altogether

Maps are really
Magic wands
For home-staying
Vagabonds!
