Lazy Days
Summertime coats your tongue like molasses
Lingering kiss of strawberry lasses
Sipping lemonade
Beneath pastel shade
Bare toes wriggle in beach-salty grasses

Nuts Over a Coconut
Fell in love with a coconut
The tree stood tall outside my hut
Love sublime at first sight
I thought I‘d have a bite
Lost both front teeth right on the spot

Wally Needs To Lighten Up a Little
We went on a Lampoon vacation
Drove damn near across our great nation
We found Wally World
The rides made me hurl
(Can’t repeat Wally’s exclamation)

Hotel Hellifornia
I went on vacation to Hell,
The hotel was hot, with a smell,
And The Devil was rude,
When I toyed with my food:
He cooked all the dinners as well.

Sevastopol Usa
Arizona's part of Ukraine
The home of Senator McCain
He'd gladly start shootin'
At Vladimir Putin
Since this terrain's in his domain
Author's note: Senator McCain and Cindy have a vacation house and natural gas pipeline interests in Crimea, but now they are banned from there.

Fantasy Vacation
I dream of a fantasy vacation
At a steamy, exotic location
I’d pound Monkey's Martini
In my polka dot bikini
And sip water for added hydration.

The Vacation That Saved An Affair
I need a vacation she said
From all of this playing in bed
And she let him know
There’s more to love’s glow
By moving on sofa instead

Good For a Vacation
In saucers that fly at fast pace
Weird creatures buzz through outer space
And since they do roam
Seldom ever back home
Earth Inn is their favorite place

Going On Small Vacation
Going On Small Vacation
Went to sleep after much sedation;
Woke up and went on a vacation;
Forgot to bring paper to write
With pen and became up tight;
More age on me was a formation.

I went on my summer vacation,
It brought me great elation.
To return back to home,
Is a thought far gone,
It should be my permanent location.

Taxfree Scheming
There once was a gullible taxman
Who dated a rich lady named Ann
When the taxes were due
She declared I love you
Why don't we take a trip to Milan

Viking Cruise
They read all about the Viking cruise
going for the first time they hadn't a clue
the addendum read
and actually said
no raiding allowed which means the fridge too!

Half a Loaf Is - Forget It
The Johnsons' vacation in Island Bay
To get there they drive an awful long way
Over hill, over dale
Then across dusty trails
They check in and get to stay half a day

Pet-Sit Panics
The Millipede Parade
Left home pet sitting, I felt unlucky.
One dog got sick and days became yucky.
Vacation in Portugal
Fun loving dreamy dazzle –
Then came the millipede parade…Whoopee!
NOTE: MILLIPEDES CAN BE A PROBLEM IN PORTUGAL...A BIG PEST!

An Out-Of-This-World Vacation
Such wondrous vista on high, what magical secrets will it share
Since the very beginning, we've dreamt of this voyage extraordinaire
Not too many years from now
Man will discover how
Get ready for an out-of-this-world vacation totally rare

Time On Vacation
Time On Vacation
Time on vacation seemed to fly so fast;
Pretty soon all gone by and then it past;
No longer here;
Once was so dear,
And much longer wish that it would last.

Kingdom Lodge in Disneyworld in

Vacation Close To Home
Once upon time, come every summer
Vacation travel was so much funner
Now I must stay close to home
Share with my dog a bone
O man, life today, what a bummer!

The Hilt
A camping vacation the only kind
The trip with grandsons would be mighty fine
Standing in rush and Spanish Moss
Pictures to remember embossed
Scratching redbugs from hilt to my hairline

Ladder To Salvation
I climbed the ladder to salvation
With bumps and bruises at each station
We never saw eye to eye
Kept saying I’ll never die
Maybe heaven will be a vacation

Limerick: Once the Un Wore a Carnation
Limerick : Once the UN wore a carnation
Once the UN wore a carnation
Now in the shade looks like damnation
Halls echo inane talk
House for rent at New York
Is UN ever on vacation ?

Prince Charming
there once was a poor man named Dave
who was treated much like a slave
a vacation they took
and while casting his hook
he hooked for his princess a wave!

Lazybones
I'm basking in pure relaxation
As chilled as a sloth on vacation
Some call me a bummer
For spending the summer
Indulging in procrastination.

Weird Rodent
This weird, eerie rodent sparks such adoration
A trip to his park's cause for great celebration
The plaques's spread by such vermin
But I'll spare you the sermon
Disneyland, here I am, on my dream vacation!

A Brief Vacation From Inflation
One problem with gasoline is, it smells
Another is, prices are high as hell --
But a real good friend of mine
Pays just a buck forty-nine --
Says he stocks up daily at Taco Bell

Caribbean Flair
Punta Cana DR on my t-shirt, had a wonderful time there
Two great weeks of sunny weather with a Caribbean flair
Girls in sarongs
Latin beat songs
A far away world with pure happiness in the air
