If it is true that

All Roads Lead To Rome

what route do I take

when I want to get home?

To this simple question

there is no adequate reply

because, as we know,

Closed Mouths Do Not Lie.

As Actions Speak Louder Than Words,

were I to lose my way, I can

ask someone for directions,

maybe a local policeman.

Once all that is sorted

I'll have no reason to ponder

on whether I shall be missed:

Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder.

I might arrive home at midnight

despite my earnest endeavour

but, considering the circumstances,

it's Better Late Than Never.

Hi Paul. I assumed that the Rome in question related to the Italian capital city but I read that there is a similarly named city in every continent except Asia and Antarctica. Moreover in the USA, there are 10.
I shall add this fact to my list of useless information.
Happy New Year to you too.

Best, Luigi
