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.
