I'm often asked by friends afar
What was that bright and shining star
That led me to this place of joy
To truly savor this, my rather special toy.
Was it the palm trees swaying in the breeze,
The cheeky Pelicans skimming waves with ease,
Florida's sun beaming brightly morn to dusk,
No need of taking weather Gods to task.
......
YOU’D LIKE A MASSERATI
BUT YOU DRIVE A SUV
IT IS A SENSIBLE CAR
WHEN YOU HAVE A FAMILY
HE’D LIKE A FERRARI
BUT HE DRIVES A 4X4
A NECESSARY CAR
THAT ISN’T ON THE FLOOR
......
Kind faces smiling,
Nodding politely at words
They don’t seem to understand,
Show me pictures
Showing the richness
Of a faraway distant land,
Multicoloured motor cars,
Brown apartments rising high
......
When my first child was born in 1999...
The hospital told us we couldn’t leave...
They said we had to buy an infant seat...
I was shocked and found it hard to believe...
I was told it was a national law...
And a law the hospital had to enforce...
Then they happily sold me a $200 infant seat...
From the hospital gift shop, well, of course...
