Yukon to Europe
From the Yukon wilds of rivers and mountains
To Europe’s history of castles and fountains;
A flight away; it’s not that far
On Condor, connecting here to “thar”.
–
Camping, canoeing, the midnight sun
Are some of the reasons the Yukon is fun.
And after mid-August, the northern lights
Could give a display that’s lively and bright.
–
Compare this to Europe’s old towns and bridges,
Cobblestone streets and Alpine ridges.
It’s a wonderful world that’s out there to find,
And then there’s the food – all different kinds.
–
The Yukon has cranberries and fireweed jelly,
And cinnamon buns between Whitehorse and Pelly.
For Europe, it’s sausage and delicious bread,
And varieties of cheese to keep you fed.
–
Travel by air lets us see other lives:
Landscapes and farms and scenic drives.
A richness of culture both ends of the flight,
You arrive in nine hours to begin your delight.
