A Tropical Smoothie

Make mine a tropical smoothie
     My recipe for life
Luxurious concoction 
     Existence, free of strife

Sweet berries for my breakfast
      I’ll bathe as waterfalls
I’ll listen to a birdsong
     Until the evening calls

And then some palm tree butter
     To glisten sun kissed skin
To lather all my cares away
     To suit the mood I’m in

 Companions of exotic hue
    Will keep me company
And we’ll confide the day away
     As we lay by the sea
