Your Yummy Vacation

In a verdant valley shrouded with mist there's a bakery no nose can resist Izzy Lum's plum pies and cherry cream cakes Taste scrumptious, like all the treats that he bakes If you follow your nose up I-16 Trees tower and spread, no need for sunscreen Italian buns and sweet Scottish toffee Taste so yummy with your Dutch mint coffee I assure you, from my ninety-nine trips That Izzy's lime fudge will pucker your lips Incidentally, what else you will find true This aroma-blessed town has a great view Inhale fresh air on the smooth, pristine lakes Take a lovely stroll as you munch on cakes Itineraries and trips come and go Try venturing high and venturing low Interest and joy of tours and camping Too often leave you spent, bored and napping I-16 is the road to elation To your delicious, fine dream vacation Written 8/25/22 Syllable counter Dot Your I's And Cross your T's Poetry Contest Sponsor: Hilo Poet

From I-16 where would I find this exact place so divine? Maybe through a magic spell or in a dream? The Dutch mint coffee would be my favorite..mmm. I can almost smell it now :)

I am not at liberty to divulge the exact place. But I'm sure the aroma will give it away as you drive on I-16...Robert

Robert my next vacation site for sure. Lovely Poetry from you. A comic flare which made me smile. Your sense of humor is a great asset to have and you share it here in this delightful treat, Couplet. Best wishes for the contest my friend...

“I am on my motorcycle on I-16, To find Izzy Lum’s sumptuous delicacies And with you, to revel in festivities Where you are king, and I am queen.” Extremely well written, Robert! May you taste of the success of a well-earned win. …Pangie…
