Much Have I Travelled

A poem about Thomas Cook

I’ve travelled much, at first to serve the Lord Delivering Baptist pamphlets close to home, Then venturing further, called by God to roam, The villages of Derbyshire I toured Till thoughts of touring occupied my brain And, knowing God on strict abstainers smiles, I planned a Temperance Trip, eleven miles, To Loughborough from Leicester on a train; And thus my empire grew in scope and scale. By God’s good grace more travellers chose to book Their annual holidays through Thomas Cook, The name to trust, the firm that could not fail Nor ever would. So, travellers, rest assured, With us you’ll have no reason to complain, We’ll take you off and bring you home again, Since Thomas Cook was founded on the Lord.
