L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Bright, Sunshiny Days

When it’s dark and gloomy in the middle of the day,
I am inclined to go back to bed and sleep it away
But then when I awaken it’s already dark outside,
I should live in the Land of the Midnight Sun, I sigh.
Obviously, I much prefer bright, sunshiny days
Where I can hike in the woods or relax in my chaise,
Clearly, I’d be most happy living in a tropical zone
Better still, on a forty-foot yacht I can call my own.

Rico Leffanta March 8, 2022 at 10:57 AM A 40'-yacht is considerable work, but you are retired, so plan on many busy days! Aloha! L Milton Hankins March 8, 2022 at 12:05 PM Ah, but if I could afford a 40-foot yacht, I could afford a crew to take care of it for me, right? Thanks for your read and your thoughtful comment on it, Rico.

Joanna Daniel March 8, 2022 at 1:04 AM Great wishes, Milt:) you should come to South India, here, the sun is shining all the time:) L Milton Hankins March 8, 2022 at 8:08 AM Ah, perhaps that is the part of the world I should be living in. I do love sunshine and heat doesn't particularly bother me. In hot weather I can always take off clothes; in cold weather, I can never put on enough clothes to get really warm!
