Reservations For One

Some spot awaits amid the palm,

               Of South Pacific's sultry charm,

For one old, weary down-east dude ...

               Full-up on winter's somber mood.

It waits, resigned, midst sun and sea,

               To fill its firmament with me,

There, I and Life shall net our ease ...

               A hammock, swaying in the breeze.

I especially love "shall net our ease" Awesomeness! Login to Reply Gregory Richard Barden Date: 2/16/2018 2:34:00 AM It's a deal, Rhoda! And a little fridge stocked full of refreshments, good eats, a bit of shade, and a little hut to get out of the rain! I'm good from then until the end of time, lol! ;-)
