My dream vacation is to drive to Iowa City
Where my identical twin lives; she is incredibly witty
I would leave my paints at home and sew with her
Our laughter would travel down the boulevard, sure.
We would spend the day eating goodies she cooks.
She can whip up cookies and pie without any books.
I love her food, it is sweet, tasty, crispy and good.
I would adore spending time with her, as I should.
We are older now, seventy-three last week actually.
Being with my twin is the best of the best, factually.
We share the same face, same hair, and same laugh.
Do we agree on politics? Not by half.
But we love each other, enough not to speak of that.
I love animals and cannot keep that under my hat.
She does not like them at all but keeps this quiet.
Being with my twin is always a riot.
Green-eyed emotion erupts from warm emerald eyes
A viscous volcano erupts in my haggard heart
It's magma-traction under bright azure skies
Let's charter a dream and an island we'll chart
We'll sail soft waves South, on specific breezes
While the stars and the moon dangles their art
On sea's lofty breezes, the Pacific teases
To an island where all of my fantasies start
My green-eyed wondrous wonder, where wonders await
Igniting my wanton wishlist, scorching my eyes
My volcano erupts, and our flames soon relate
Then Heaven's gate opens, revealing my prize
I'm on an Island, in Heaven, with a Queen
Warm breeze, and these coral seas, speckle my view
And those same magma-scopic eyes of lush green
Sparkled all my fantasies and dreams that came true
Slow your breath to calm
pause stop relax to still your mind
conjure your dream vacation place

Every day it seems a battle,
finds a way to leave you rattled,
the nonsense you see on TV,
lots of lies from the legacy,
traffic jams, can’t work from home,
boss demands, tell his where to go,
just goes on, the price we must pay,
comes a time you must get away!
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
I want to go off.
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
let this thing explode.
Find the time, bleed it off slowly,
clear my mind of the unholy,
make a plan, or maybe wing it,
find something that I can sink in.
Get a drink, maybe a woman,
take a trip, get up and go then,
some chaos, can be balancing,
feel alive, that’s what I’m wanting.
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
I want to go off.
I want to go off,
let this thing blow off,
the stress I’ll throw off,
let this thing explode.
Let this thing explode,
let this thing explode,
let this thing explode…
every man must unload.
Welcome to Jamaica, Maan! Bounty by the Seas!
The land of sand and dreams neath swaying trees,
Where you'll be gently rubbed with warm fragrant oils,
And sip fruity umbrella drinks in the cool breeze!
Later, when the sun winks and blows a kiss from Mars,
Some more umbrella drinks and Green Cigars!
During what Jamaicans call...Magic Hour! Maan!
We'll dance and sing, between the sea and stars!
Oh yes, my friend! Here, the tunes will make you swoon!
Neath sunlight fair, open air, or crescent moon!
I'd like to say, if you've got time to get away, Maan,
Then, I hope we'll be seeing you today, Maan!

UP, and away I go, Hello Mexico!
It's my annual Vacation.
Those Frequent Flyer miles sure saved my Cash,
Except from Thirst and Starvation!
Round ended, Well blended, Senoritas,
There'd be no Fender I'd pass!
Mary Jane and Three more Margaritas,
AAH! It's Splendor in the Grass!
if you feel your mind’s in need of a vacation, try meditation
we thought we were ready
till the unexpected fell upon us
such high expectations
for fun and adventure
plans for get-aways
excursions and discoveries
the days and weeks go by
another summer slips away

We're going on vacation
Words innocent and pure
Visions of sun and beaches
Are conjured up for sure
The marketers are genius
At portraying family bliss
A carefree family skipping
Through waves not to be missed
But just below the surface
Lurk undertones of woe
The preparations necessary
Belay the surface glow
The focus turns to prepping
The job, the house the yard
The feeding of the pets
The domicile to guard
And then there is the packing
The lists, and lists of lists
And luggage bulging at the seams
I think you get the gist
And finally departure
On crowded roads no less
Who turned off the oven
We fret and try to guess
Perpetual construction
And hours of sitting still
Are we there yet yell the children
It's pure parental hell
So if you didn't need one
When planning this vacay
You certainly do now
I hope it goes your way!
I love the blue water,
as I am rocked to sleep.
The salt air fills my soul,
as I dream far away.
I am awakening,
to a misty sea day.
l see a bridge, it's a river of glass
on roof tops high, and dense views of grass
it floats up above, in clouds of the sky
how is it done ? l keep wondering why
its a place now of wonder, that visitors go
a UNESCO forest, that millions flow
a vision of beauty and peace rarely seen
a film makers joy, where film maker been
the waters flow down , from pillars up top
into the sky, from Quartzite rock
a fantasy, view , the film maker said
it's just an idea , to challenges, led
but mountain wolfs live, just below and to roam
and water deer feed, and make it their home
but i'v seen these before
in Chinese paintings, l did once to explore
sky columns now a famous they claim
has tallest lift built, as the visitors came
it's floating of mountains, made from sandstone and water
it's a fantasy film, now forest of fame
but l only know film
of
Avatar.
Lester Lizard got home from vacation
where he had met a Haitian Crustacean
they got along great
till they tried to mate
reptile dysfunction leads to frustration
a week by the seaside is all that you need to revive your spirits
