I am home at last!

If you read my last six posts

There’s no secret code.

Vacation, Part VI

Have you ever looked

Straight into the setting sun

And thought, “I am dumb”?

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?

Blame WordPress, not me.

Poems From My Vacation 6 – Victoria, BC

The Gardens of Butchart are marvelous,

A sprawling Canadian eden

Where flowers abound over hillock and mound

And employees spend all their day’s weedin’.

The Gardens are themed geographically,

With Italian and Japanese spaces

And the gelato shop sold, for $8 a pop,

Icy treats to put smiles on faces.

Nearby was the Butterfly Garden

With bugs, birds, turtles, and more

And you could just sit as the butterflies flit

And the lizards abound on the floor.

Overall, ‘twas a wonderful venture

Into flora and fauna domestic.

If you find yourself in Victoria too

Both sites are grand and majestic.

Poems from My Vacation 5 – Skagway

Skagway has a choo-choo ride

Up through an icy pass.

My wife and I ate burgers there

‘Cause the cruise burgers were… fine.

There was a tram that led up to

Majestic mountains silver.

They also sold alpaca clothes

That cost so much they… fine?

We watched a film about the rush

For gold in Yukon lands.

The supply of actual gold to find

Far outweighed demand

And so a lot of horses died

(And sure, some humans too).

My wife got sick… I found a stick…

Did I mention the choo-choo?
