I am a little ashamed to say this, but I have a favorite poem. (That's not the shameful part. Keep reading.) It is part of an SUV commercial. (I know...Boo...Hiss...) All I can say in my defense is, I'm not the only one! I keep hoping that it will turn out that it was written by someone other than an ad guy. Can anyone help me out??

Nobody Knows It But Me
"There's a place where I travel
When I want to roam
And nobody knows it but me

The roads don't go there
And the signs stay home
And nobody knows it but me

It's far far away
And way way afar
It's over the moon and the sea

And wherever you're going
That's where you are
And nobody knows it but me"

UPDATE: It appears that the Chevy ad man, Patrick O'Leary, is also a published author. I think it's a damn fine poem, even if it WAS written for a Tahoe commercial.
