Holiday Whistles

in recliner on sandy beach he went to sleep,
his faithful wife, sat by his side, began to weep,
all that money wasted on such a lazy cause,
his snoring whistles like sea waves play without pause!

Not a very adventurous soul! I agree. Why take a vacation to sit and read a book when there are so many wonderful places to explore and things to see! We have friends who do just that and we have never understood! Congrats Krish!
