Florida Is Beckoning Again

Florida is beckoning once again The sun, the sand, those leisurely days The total package, the change of scenery The change of routine we all need and crave There are many places on earth Where this can be achieved But this is MY paradise, MY wee bit of heaven Everyone has their own favourite getaway Florida has always been my second home In particular, Siesta Key, just south of Sarasota Those familiar with the area Know when I refer to a white sandy beach I'm not just whistling Dixie Siesta Key is world famous Think I'll head off to dreamland now And pretend I'm there, in my own piece of paradise! © Jack Ellison 2015

Oh Dear... Now Dragon wants to take his penguins to Florida... I don't want to imagine what he'd do to those white sandy beaches... Actually, he saw 'Shark Week' on a TV channel and he's promising suishi to his penguins... I seem to have a revolt... They want to go with you NOW! Sigh! It's hard to convince them that they can go when they gey older. For now we're having a Lalau in the snow... with suishi of course... What I don't do for my Dragon! Aloha for now. Wanna join us for shushi? LOL

At one time for about 20 to 25 years straight, we vacationed in Florida at least once, sometimes twice a year! I miss it big time! XXX BTW I am not a sushi fan nor sea food of any kind but thanks for the invite! LOL
