When I wonder;

When I wonder what it'd be like
to smoke a joint of Mary Jane
If it were legal when I might have tried
When I wonder when one should yield
grow old and gray and act that way
I ask the Misses but she's of no help
When I wonder ...

- I'm not an expert but I do have a couple of encyclopedia supplements called The Book of Wonders (1920's and 1960's editions). And I have visited five of places of the Seven Wonders of the (Ancient) World (google search) but not to the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon (ISIS has probably recently destroyed this one) and four of the New 7 Wonders.
- Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (again from google search, above)
- ☆Great Pyramid of Giza, the only one that still exists.
- ☆Colossus of Rhodes.
- Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
- ☆Lighthouse of Alexandria.
- ☆Mausoleum at Halicarnassus (present Bodrum, Turkey)
- Statue of Zeus at Olympia.
- ☆Temple of Artemis at Ephesus.
- The New 7 Wonders of the World Are an Instagrammer's Dream

Hmmm, to be pondered for sure.
