Today the dollar's powerful
Against the lira, franc and pound.
So vacationers in Europe
Will see Americans all around.

They'll fill the Sistine Chapel,
Gawk at the Madeleine
And act as much like tourists
As any you've ever seen.

So let tourists take their dollars
And happily fly away.
While they're absent, I'll vacation
In the good old U.S.A.

LOL !
Basking in the Florida sun is vacation enough, eh ?

Tried to send you a card -
but the e-mail I found on your web page
said it was invalid !

Ahh, yes...let 'em go! Rid of some of the congestion for a while! Great write, Dom!

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...
