Shrinking
The list of destinations
Seems to shrink 'most every day
For when planning a vacation,
Fear should not come into play.
From the Zika scare in Rio
To most islands with a beach,
Sounds like tropical escapes
To many will be out of reach.
ISIS is another story,
Bombing airports and cafes.
Who needs travel filled with worry?
Extra caution always pays.
Now another horror's happened
With an awful truck attack.
Some vacationers in Nice
Will, sadly, not be coming back.
Though of course it could be anywhere
That people choose to roam,
All these stories will make many
Spend vacations safe at home.
