Reasons To Stay
Our sizzling temperatures
like the month of August
on our skyline above the clouds
Swimming with the pigs
dolphins, sharks and stingrays
in our crystal seas
Sunday strolls
on our gorgeous sand banks
and surprising boiling holes
Extravagant boat cruises
to Rose Island
and Blue Lagoon Island
Shaking up to Rake and Scrape
and Goombay music
in our streets
Feeding the taste
of Goombay Punch
and Sky Juice
on our tongues
The sensation
of tropical conch salad
and coconut tarts
filling up our guts
Listening to folk tales
from Bookie and Rabbie
eating flour cakes
and ring playing
on our Out Island playgrounds
