Island of Fantasy

On my island of fantasy
with me I'd bring,
my birthday suit.
To swin in.

I would have plants
from my garden
to reset in soil
rich in minerals.

Like the film Piano
with mother and child.
I would have mine
to play on.

Speaking of children,
I would bring my girls.
To keep me company.
Share my paradise.

Would I need a man Friday?
Like Robinson Crusoe?
I don't think so.
Unless he cooks.

Oh yes....books.
All the ones I've been
meaning to read.
But never did.

Who needs water
when one has wine?
Best bring along
my favourite vine.

Last but not least.
Music for my soul.
Once I have all these.
Never miss home.

Don't drink coffee James. Bring in along in your canoe when you visit.
