A Row of Beans
Finally getting back into the swing of it
Holidaying in the Dominican for a week
Sure did wonders for my psyche
Appreciating what I have a whole lot more
Aside from the absolutely gorgeous
All-inclusive resort we stayed in
Living conditions there were sad to see
But in spite of it all, Dominicans have a lust for life
The smallest thing makes them smile
A great big wide sparkling smile!
Was I impressed? You can bet your sweet bippy I was!
We uptight North Americans could learn a lot from them
About what's REALLY important in life
As long as we have loved ones who care
Everything else just amounts to a row of beans!
