I'm sure there are simpler ways to learn that immediately to the left of the International Date Line is always one day ahead of the date to the right - but why take the easy route?

It could have been some twenty miles cleared
When it turned to something different
I was panting over large hills
Wasn't longing for some pavement

I had gone long but in the back of my eye
I saw boars f*ck but not the sign I then ran by

Missed the trail marker, ran for some time
Then wobbled, hurled and fell into a strip mine
Rolled down an elk latrine - and then a ravine
Hobbled on - but there were more detours to come

I had a black out from blue rear
Then fought blisters and gators
And when the night fell I lost steer
Was down to slower than waiters

I had gone long and when the morning came by
Was out of luck and fell into a stream near-by

Missed the trail marker, fell, swam and climbed
Got freaky lost on the way to the goal line
I longed for caffeine - and I was moss green
Limping on - but with a numb face to fall on

Missed the trail marker, but made up time
Because I ended on left of the date line
I'll take a calendar when next out I'll roam
Hitching on - I finally got a ride home

Missed the trail marker...
