beam me up

good ways to travel now there are not few
but instantaneous that's the way to go
i head to broadway for the latest show
and after to hawaii for the nicest view
of sunset then to ireland for the dew
of morning somehow one would know
to whom we would this sweetest blessing owe
to have the world as neighbourhood that's new
to call this journey beam or call it spring
does not now matter it's the swiftest way
to travel in the most connected times
far swifter than the aerodynamic wing
the world to survey in a single day
and then to praise in carefully-picked rhymes
