A holiday in the offing
and away from these grey UK shores
where the climate should be warmer
who could wish for more.
Packing my well travelled suitcase
should be an altogether joy
but I must remember the camera,
a most important ploy.
To capture in film the funny memories,
new friends and adventures,
for the long winter evenings ahead
when out of bed, it’s just too cold to venture.
Holidays are just such a total change
none of the normal routines to rearrange…
“carpe diem” just has to be the way
seize the moment, pour a drink, now let’s play.
We’ve got beach towels and suncream
even my Panama sunhat is included
I’m going to wear my posh Italian shades
and feel trendy enough, not to be excluded.
So on with the washed out denims
a little threadbare it has to be said
But better than wearing more formal gear…
It’s that “planning for holidays” time of year.
