Meg's Last Florida Vacation

Meg’s Last Florida Vacation

By Elton Camp

Meg thinks Florida’s such a peach
With its white and sandy beach

And when away from the shore
For her to enjoy there’s even more

Walt Disney World is just so fine
Her favorite place to stand in line

The boggy swamps are all rife
With several types of wildlife

Of enormous snakes she’s heard
Mosquitoes big as a hummingbird

But of one type sign, Meg is a hater
Those that warn, “Beware of alligator”

She won’t be intimidated in that way
From the inviting water she won’t stay

An alligator, though, saw her first
At once proceeded to do his worst

Meg’s Florida vacations are done
No more play in the broiling sun
