Her collected travel magnets
line the icebox upper door
with a list of Ten Commandments
(Only two have been ignored).

Near the places that she’s been to
for the beaches and the snow,
there’re a few the Bible preaches
where you really shouldn’t go

When she plans a new vacation
she can find a place she’s missed;
if she struggles with temptation
she can reference the list.
