Family Vacation

It was the best of times It was the worst of times It was two extremes But both were mine It was peace, on lease A bitter, sweet time It was, incredible waves Explosions on shore Golden sun rays Preceding downpours Amazing views, sunset hues An experience, worth outrageous dues But all this fun, was sure to bruise Bliss dried up, after a day or two The rain was persistent Not frequently lifted It was morbidly mad The forecast had missed it A scattered shower A bit of a drizzle To last for an hour Then rapidly fizzle Soggy from false predictions Delirious from lack of sleep We, all were feeling the tension Though none of us made a peep But as I said before There was good to balance the bad We found marvelous shells, galore And the sights we saw, were rad This will be an adventure, remembered Our children will tell the tale Although we drowned 3 thousand bucks We sure did raise some Hell
