Paradise Island Dream
The kids are gone, I'm retired, I'm takin' a long vacation,
To Paradise Island with sunny beaches, that's my destination!
I'll spend the days savorin' a climate of seventy-two degrees,
Snoozin' 'neath the palms, cooled by the ocean breeze!
Each morn as I stretch and yawn to meet another gorgeous day,
A glorious sunrise greets me from across the tranquil bay.
I release the worries and frustrations from my languid soul,
As upon the beautiful, sandy strand I take my mornin' stroll!
'Tis soothin' to the ear as the surf floods the pristine beach;
Beyond that, there is heard only the terns' occasional screech.
Sandpipers and sidelin' crabs entertain me scurrin' about;
I watch a ship cross the aqua sea, plyin' its leisurely route!
'Tis relaxin' to sip a Manhattan when another day is done,
And just sit back to enjoy the grandeur of the settin' sun.
Later, as tho' emergin' from the sea, rises a brilliant moon,
And romantic music serenades me from across the lagoon!
I'll have a lobster dinner, then to bed 'cause its gettin' late,
Or maybe a dip in the surf - but hold on just a minute, wait!
Sashayin' across the moonlit beach somethin' makes my eyes gleam!
A bikini- clad beauty!, Just as the missus pokes me, shatterin' my dream!
