Disney Delight



Mickey Mouse, Cinderella,
It’s a Small World too,
when you visit Disney World
there’s so much for you to do!

If you like lots of fast-paced action,
the Rock 'N' Roller Coaster is an excellent choice.
With Aerosmith belting out their tunes,
I screamed so hard I lost my voice.

In Epcot I went soaring,
floating through the sky.
I waved at a hang glider
as he went whizzing by.

After watching our food grilled on a hibachi,
we dined in true Japanese style.
Our chef's name was Joseph, and his
efforts were definitely worthwhile.

My favorite ride above the rest
was Toy Story Mania Arcade!
I thought I had done really well,
until I heard the score that Kelsey made!

Our last night we dined in style
at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.
We sampled different African foods,
but some foods we had to dodge.

Eventually we had to say good-bye.
Louisiana was calling us home.
We loaded up inside the motor coach
And headed west toward the Superdome.

What a wonderful vacation we had
from morning and into the night.
Filled with good times, good food, and good company,
our vacation was definitely a Disney Delight!

The Special of the Day

How do you like your eggs?
I heard the waitress say.
Scrambled or poached
Or is sunny-side-up okay?

Or, the cook can whip you up
A delicious western omelet
With onions and peppers
But that’s not all you’ll get.

It comes with a side of hash browns
Fresh-squeezed orange juice in a glass
It’s our “Special of the Day”
So you might not want to let it pass.

It was right then that I looked
that waitress up close and in her eye
Please just bring me some coffee
Without some caffeine, I think I might cry!

A Sharp Tongue

I started taking my antidepressant
every other day
and I’m saving 15 dollars
because I’m taking it this way!

But watch out my tongue is sharper
And my will power has taken a hike
Words keep spilling from my mouth
Maybe my tongue will go on strike!

I’ve asked my friends, “Can you tell the difference?”
And of course they all say, “No!”
But I realize they’re just saying this
Because they don’t want to see me BLOW!

Who knows what words would come out
If they admitted that they could tell.
My sharp tongue might lash out at them
Oh my dear friends know me so well!

Faces in the Wind

Strewn across the boardwalk
Trodden on by unsuspecting people
Blowing haphazardly in the wind
Their faces burning from the sun
Reflecting off the glossy paper.

Their parents' cries
ring in my ears as
warm tears run down my cheek.
Who are these young women
selling their bodies and souls
forever blowing in the breeze?
