Children screaming and yelling
The sweat drips from my forehead
Time was short we lost the plane
I'm tired
New line - through customs and passport control
Next we fly stacked like sardines in a box
All are miserable and kaputt
The night has come and we finally arrived
The baggage is lost - no clean underpants
Some cry and some are mean
Youngest child has peed in his pants
I argue with my wife
Have a beer
Mosquitoes are annoying and they bite
The sun glows from a cloudless sky
It's awful hot
Finally, the holiday is over
Next year I will take time off from vacation
* Not from reality :))

Dogs are just so great,
your friends, when all else fails,
they can be the best soul mate,
with wet wet noses, and waggy wag tails,
they are there in times of need,
sitting on your foot,
a best friend, yes indeed,
when your world is going kaputt,
they greet you at the door,
happy that your home,
running to you with legs of four,
so you won't be alone,
so you'll always have a pal,
if there's a dog nearby,
wagging their ole tail,
with love you cant deny.
