I am home at last!
If you read my last six posts
There’s no secret code.

I am home today.
My gators ate well last week.
Should have read part five…

Vacation, Part VI
Have you ever looked
Straight into the setting sun
And thought, “I am dumb”?

Vacation, Part V
Three more days at sea.
Alligators in my moat
Must want food by now…

Vacation, Part IV
If a bear eats me
You won’t know ‘til August 10th.
Does that comfort you?

Vacation, Part III
If you’re reading this
But part two does not exist
Blame WordPress, not me.

Here’s the second one.
If you’re reading this, I am
Blissfully at sea.

Poems from My Vacation 3 – Elevator Mullet Kid
Some folks take vacations
To get away from work,
But for one young man employment
Was instead a travel perk.
He spent all seven cruising days
Inside an elevator.
His parents said he shouldn’t be,
But he surprised them later
By pulling out the wads of cash
(Not tips – donations, see?)
Gifted to him by cruisers
On the Ovation of the Sea.
We never learned his name,
Or why he chose vacation there.
We only knew his silly grin
And even sillier hair.
So here’s to you, cruise mullet kid
Who helped us get around!
Whenever you turn 21
We’ll all buy you a round.

Poems from My Vacation 1 – Breakfast
Be me on the ocean
On my early morning jaunt
And I’m greeted on the stairway
By a chocolate croissant.
It’s sitting on a marble step,
Uneaten, undisturbed,
And it greets me silently,
Melty and unperturbed.
Part of me is hungry
And would gladly pick it up
But my wife holds my left hand
And my right hand holds a cup.
Instead I bend my pelvis
And my knees caress the floor
And in one delicious moment
The croissant is no more.
