No Frills Vacation

As she envisions boarding the plane,
she whoops a big hooray,
but then she's quickly back to earth,
realizing all the bills to pay…
Her dream vacation is to one day
see the sights and sounds of London, 
but for now she'll have to settle
for some bathwater filled with Calgon!

Cheryl, even an imaginary vacation would be better than no vacation. Your poem is a delight to read. All the best, Sonia.

Yes, that is probably why a lot of women bathe using Calgon because it's supposed to "take me away!" Thank you for your kind comment and all the best to you too, Cheryl
