Were sailing Away

Were sailing away

For a Year and a day

To the land where

The money tree grows

 

There'll be

Chocolate and cream cakes

Lemonade and wine

Also some beer

 

Girls in grass skirts

Who know how to flirt

To be chased

But never get caught

 

Muscle men

With bronzed bodies

Six packs

And lunch boxes

 

Skinny men

With white face

And gentle smooth

Willing hands

 

To smooth on the sun cream

On arms and legs

Bare tummy's

And backs

 

Faces and necks

So smooth when they

Sun cream your chest

Anywhere else you may request

 

When the time is up

Its time to go home
We may return some day

To the idyllic place

 

No we will just stay

For another year and a day

And a day

And a day.…………….

The cigarette trees have died

Now, this place with the money tree; where is it, exactly?

Nice poem. There's nothing else to say.

Thank you for reading and comment
Money trees grow on the island where the Owl and the P***y Cat went to
Cigarette trees still flourish by the Candy Rock Mountain next to the Soda Fountain

Ah...the boat is pea green, then; and beautiful!

[Wild Rose]

Ah not quite > Mine is a magic boat Any colour you wish no rough seas warm sun but doesn't burn the skin or make you sweat
Rain on come when you are in bed
