Get away from it all!
We’ve got to the stage and at our age,
Holidays for us are all the rage!
Either Newlywed or nearly dead,
It’s something we don’t want to disengage!
We just need a rest after a break
Gone is the zest, left is a headache
We need to sweat again on the internet
Get the best deal near the beach we fret.
Found
the hotel but not the flight
Away
from the cold in hot Fahrenheit!
It’s beginning to prove so elusive
To find something good that’s all inclusive!
No
working cooking, or any housework,
Wanting
to be spoilt somewhere with perks
Read
through a book just for a change
A
new experience to book and arrange.
Just look at this, only three room’s leftover,
A place in the sun while we fly over Dover!
Some films to view or Out of the blue;
And
to the urge to sleep just takes over.
Got to the stage, where we love holidays!
Used to jet lag and flight delays.
Sleep in the sun, nocturnal fun,
At our age, we’ve only just begun!
Ticking things off on the bucket list
And think fuck it let’s just get pissed!
At our age, we really don’t care
As long as it’s hot and we’ll eventually get there.
But always a dread, is our stack of meds
We can be at times at loggerheads!
Just keep them by and kept in a sack-
It’ll save time when we have to
pack.
Get away from it all, when we’ve just got home,
No time to waste, browse through Google chrome.
Get away from it all, book the next holiday
And let the salty blue sea blow the cobwebs away.
Dive deep below and don’t look back -
Meet a huge fish, have a panic attack!
Or up in the mountains on the longest zip wire
A long way below couldn’t get any higher.
At our age we need to do what we can
And eat that funny cake in Amsterdam!
The mortgage is paid, can’t comprehend it
Got some money spare and just want to spend it
