Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Vacation In Israel

If a bomb goes off on a train or bus,
I guarantee the aftermath will not be too fabulous.
If I found myself in Haifa, Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv,
the first thing I would want to do is leave.
I can name so many other places for a vacation.
In the Middle East, staunch hostility surrounds this nation.
They are not shooting at each other in Tahiti.
How many terrorists are roaming in Hawaii?

Ivor Kos May 14, 2014 at 5:39 PM Very true, Sir. Some other nice choices with no bombers would be Brazil, Greenland and Madagascar. Besides, they speak very nice languages in those. Not to say that Hebrew is not a good languag but I prefer Portuguese, Greenlandic & Malagasy.
