I Am On Vacation

A poem about my favorite place to go for vacation

I am on vacation

I can't wait, I can't wait
Was that me or them?
It must have been me
It's just me and my shadow.
Me and my better half.

I can't wait, I can't wait.
The weather isn't perfect there--ever.
But the atmosphere and environment is.
It's my favorite place.

Castles in the air.
Storybook beginnings and endings
Life on the wild side
Life on the happy side
Life on the wonderful side

These are the visions and vignettes I have seen
A trip around the world--or two or three
A trip to the future and past, safely
Fulfilling my ambassador dream from childhood

Yes, that's it.
This is the stuff of dreams.
My dreams come true.
