My Favourite Vacation In Rhyme
We went on the Norfolk Broads
In September of 2019
Before we'd ever heard of Covid
With the globe as it's scene.
It was the first time I'd seen a kingfisher!
It sparkled like a gem!
It zipped along the draping branches
That covered the rivers hem.
The herons made me laugh a lot!
They stood confident and proud.
" Check out this profile as you glide by!
Let me hear that camera clicking sound! "
The lollaping laps of water
That gently rocked the boat
Lulled us into peaceful slumbers,
Safe, secure, afloat!
It just so happened that family friends
Were also there that week.
So we often joined up
And decent restruants we would seek.
We had our evening meal one night
At a place that fed generous portions.
We didn't anticipate how much.
The cost was cheap, no price extortions.
I chose the pork chop dinner.
I could have one chop or two.
In previous places they were small
So I didn't have a clue
How huge these chops would be!
They took up half of a giant plate!
So my advice is "Always ask the size!"
The meal was worth the wait.
Though this meal was massive,
To my surprise I ate it all!
I left this restaurant feeling
Like an overinflated ball!
It truly was a lovely week,
Novelty and new.
I'd definitely go on the broads again!
There's so much more exploring to do!
