Short Cabana Poems

hot summer day
blistering sun
soaked shirt

hot sand
island beach
flip flops

cool drink
under cabana
parched lips...

I want to sleep, life in the cabana
But she wants to meet by the veranda
The meeting was set
Encouraged I get
Then I slip, from a rotten banana

That sassy young lassie from Savannah
She wound up in Cuba's old Havana
Playing fine flamenco guitars
Rolling pricey high-class cigars
And shacking with men in her cabana.

There was a guy whose nickname was Santa
That hailed from the great state of Atlanta 
.              Who acted like scrooge
              And a huge, loud stooge
     Now he lived; near beach in a cabana

While I sip tea sitting in my cabana, enjoying the nature
I watch two deer playing joyfully as the sun shares
My lovely neighbors are barbequing 
Venison is on the menu...I have tears

Lucy and Ricky had a television show
She was hilarious with Ethel and Fred
Her vita vita vegimen and chocolate delight
Made everyone laugh all night

Ricky was a cabana singer 
Who played bongos on the Lucy show
He could never figure out what Lucy was up to
Until the end of the I Love Lucy show...

There was a lady from Montana
Who fell in love with a banana,                
Which had such an appeal 
She felt urged to reveal
They planned to elope to Havana.

She rented a seaside cabana
Nested between beach and savanna.
At a party she threw
Came a Chiquita new
And the new two flew to Montana....

Italian memory of my heart
summer respite of my dreams
You make my regular days palatable
I take a deep breath and am back in seconds
hearing the squeal of the seagulls
in the cabana, wearing my cutest swimsuit
so glad I have the photos
which help me in my daily meditations
I see the orange geraniums, smelling their fragrance
which always steers my imagination back to the land of love...

there was a girl from Havana
her name was Ms. Quintana
she liked watching men from her cabana
scatily dressed in only bandanas

all those young men in their Speedos
put a rise in her labido
those hot guys made her crazy
then everything just got hazy

when she stood up and almost fainted
a hansome young man got acquainted
as he reached out to catch her fall
she know he was the best one of all...

Listen to poem:

long awaited summer
school let out
freedom within my grasp

a new pool next
to the sauna cabana
built by dad

life was perfect

little did i know
youth was slipping
through my fingers

Hot summer nights
With you is alright
Under the cabana
Talking all night

Happy is what I feel
I know you’ll never ever leave 
Cus’ were as strong as steal

Cold winter days
I wish could stay
To spend with you
As we lay 

Oh everything’s alright
On any kind of night
Either in a cabana
Under stars that are bright
Or in a city
With the bright city lights
Oh it doesn’t matter 
As long as I’m with you
To love and hold tight...
