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!
