- Finally - the Holiday Is Over -

Children screaming and yelling The sweat drips from my forehead Time was short we lost the plane I'm tired New line - through customs and passport control Next we fly stacked like sardines in a box All are miserable and kaputt The night has come and we finally arrived The baggage is lost - no clean underpants Some cry and some are mean Youngest child has peed in his pants I argue with my wife Have a beer Mosquitoes are annoying and they bite The sun glows from a cloudless sky It's awful hot Finally, the holiday is over Next year I will take time off from vacation * Not from reality :)) 13.07.2014 A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
