Tittering shorebirds dot the shore
as the tide comes gently in.
Seagulls cry just overhead
their voices excite the wind.
And, just offshore a fishing boat
chugs on its merry way,
with weathered fishermen casting net
for a new catch of the day.
It's another day in Paradise
on this exotic shore!
Our inland woes are a memory
that was left home at the door.
Exotic drinks and desert palms
and the sea wind's fragrant breeze,
we're home here in this wonderland
doing exactly what we please.
Sleeping late and dancing late,
with brunch from ten till three;
where cocktail hour begins at noon
we've lots of liberty.
So pardon if we're a few weeks late!
It shouldn't be a surprise,
that we opt to linger for awhile
in this island paradise!
