Vacation At the River

River never sleeps by the city, nightlights highlight the dance craze faze of evening party-goers upon blue waves; swimmers sailboats descend during days. Time speeds by as children thrill yelling splashing elation-filled river walk’s, shopping sprees raking in green dollar bills; folks enjoying summer grills, need tummy pills by vacation’s end.

I am so ready for another vacation like this for all of us - the "tummy pills" will be worth the fun!

Tummy pills, eh?! Ha, ha. Such a cute description fits like a glove on this cute, nostalgic write!... This year so many are taking 'virtual trips.' Can't compare, I say. (Except when you're talking price. And who wants to quibble about price when on a vacation!). Cheers, Gershon
