Guernsey, How Great Thou Are

Guernsey, How Great You Are Instead of Romeo and Juliet. it was Kit; Were such a pair who never would quit Being present in each other's midst; Talk about Guernsey was hard to resist. There are also two other islands adjoining; And ocean with water had been anointing Surface of beaches and sides of each ship So to Guernsey we had to plan a nice trip. Once we stopped there did sit and stare At the elegant beauty we saw everywhere; Down in a valley or on top of a high hill Wherever we went was always a thrill. Living on Guernsey, what will it be like? How about bright-colored bike or a hike; Maybe great tour guide down should hale Who will please us greatly without fail. Saw friendly faces standing in front of her Talking of Guernsey and what it did endure Which to all of us was well worth knowing; Now back to ship we had better be going. James Thomas Horn www.poetrysoup.com www.story-telling-around-the-world.com We are going on a cruise on Royal Princess from South Hampton, England to Guernsey, Ireland, Scotland and Normandy and return. This will be late in month of May. Annette Henry Tours will be in charge of our tour through Guernsey Island. This is really going to be a great trip. This whole trip kind of was perpetuated by the book, "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society" written by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. Jim Horn
