Beautiful Olde Bermuda

There's an island paradise located in the blue Atlantic. No place on earth is quite as charming and romantic! A shangri-la where beaches are pink and everyone smiles. The place whereof I speak are the quaint Bermuda Isles! There are no streets with mundane names like Elm or Main, But you will find Shinbone Alley and Old Maid's Lane, Or Aunt Peggy's Lane and unique Featherbed Alley, Where quaint shoppes welcome you for a spot o'tea! Brave tourists straddle motorbikes to go for a spin, Perhaps stopping for a rum swizzle at famed Swizzle Inn! Or if it's something delectable they desire to munch, May stop by the Hog Penny in Hamilton for a leisurely lunch! If looking for a sheltered beach on which to cavort, There's no finer than Tobacco Bay nigh St. Catherine's Fort! Ah, to spend an evening at Ye Olde White Horse Inn, Slurping Bermuda fish chowder and sipping tonic and gin! At night the shimmering sea reflects the magnificent moon. Dulcet calypso music wafts from across the glassy lagoon. Bermuda is known for its lilies, onions and friendly blokes, And for the beauty of its sunsets the Master Artist invokes! Entry for Thvia Shetley's "Foreign Travel" Contest

Robert, I truly enjoyed my little journey your poem took me on. I know of a White Horse Inn in Chelmsford, Essex and thought perhaps Ye Olde White Horse Inn might be named after it. Or Vice Versa? Congratulations on your win in Debbie's contest. There were some awesome entries, this being one I really enjoyed. Aloha, Connie
