Some so-called travellers do support
The “all inclusive” type resort
“All inclusive” means, I think,
You don’t pay either food or drink.
No worry where you going to eat;
No locals that you have to meet;
No search for beer, cash in hand –
Advantages I understand.
The flipside is you have to stay
Within the complex night and day
To guarantee your money’s worth
But if you do so, how on earth
Can you get round the simple fact
That travel means you interact –
Your senses soak up from the scene
The flavour of the place you’ve been.
If not, then anywhere you go
Is just a sunny “Truman Show” –
A plastic, imitation place
And it, like you, a waste of space.
