Island holiday

* island holiday *
Floating on the salt water free
Trapped between two blues you see
Deep blue azure of sea crisp and clean
And the other domed above my head
This is sweet tropical paradise
Pineapple juice cocktails
Sunscreen protection
Lazy idle mornings prostrate
On sheets shall not need to wash
The towels are large and fluffy warm
This modern air-conditioned recreation
Of some traditional wood and palm leaf abode
They would have had to fish or farm
To feed their appetites empty
Instead we wander carefree every day
Till evening comes our way
Then a buffet feast for chieftains is laid
For us to eat till we are completely fed
And then again return to palatial bed
To lay our stress-free untroubled head
Until dawn has come and gone
Sun climbed unchallenged into peerless sky
We shall arise and once more lie
Trapped between blue of sea and sky.
