Toasted Tourists

The heat was a change from our normal abode,
a wonderful way to reside.
But when it is high at the noon of the day,
it would be nice to stay cool inside.

A country so hot was a good place to be
where from routine and work we were free,
where the sunshine and sand of our holiday land
let us play all day long in the sea.

But next time we go, we will fly on a plane
and find nice cool rooms to stay in,
the sun heated our caravan too hot by far
so we roasted like nuts in a tin.

Good luck to our friends, they can drive on their own
to the land where they're toasted right through,
for we'll only go where there's places to stay
with air-con and plenty to do.

We got bored in this land where there's nothing but sand,
though the natives were friendly, that's true.
But just sitting all day on beaches that way
is not what we’d normally do.

We had travelled so far with our caravan and car,
and our friends that are really quite sweet,
but in two thousand and four we learned a bit more
about things that we'll never repeat!

The moment created this second, is a  moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.
