A Few Randon Thought about ......

Post by MarkR »

....what I've learned from this forum.

Tips on where to go
thing I need to know.
Villas are the place to stay
overlooking that perfect bay.
Is it a villa or a house
will it be liked by my spouse?
Should we stay close to Cruz
if so we're near the booze.
Or should we just follow Centerline
to that bay that's so devine.
Many think the best of Coral Bay
so laid back is what they say.
No matter where you stay
natures beauty is on display.
I hope the villa has a pool
another way to stay cool,
the perfect place to drink some rum
but not enough to make me numb.
Will I get to see a sunset
if not, I won't fret.
So many great places to eat
if on a diet you will cheat.
There's this place called Skinny Legs
but this legend serves no eggs.
Of course we must go to the beach
but they're all so easy to reach.
I can't wait to return to paradise
so many thanks for all the advise.
To ALL on this board
your information I will horde.

Ditto on what Pia said "cute". Funny how when you get started, you just get on a roll. Yes, especially after a few lime & coconuts, as suggested by Jorge (he!he!) As I recall, LLBL, posted an early goodbye poem on the vinow forum. Okay, yours has brought me out. I'll share one that I posted on On-St. John a weeks ago, just after winning the Kenny Chesney lyrics contest (LOL):

I debuted my new tune
Just a little too soon
and wished I could edit
Before y’all re(a)d it
but needed more time
To finish my rhyme
I had to add more
To mention a store
Not far from that tub
For hotsauce and rub
Real near to the dock
Where the people all flock
I’ll quit with the tease
So guess if you please
You’ve hit on the truth
If you said Ron & Ruth
For a very fair price
You can take home the spice
And lets give a toast
To the folks there on Jost
But you can’t take a car
To the Soggy “D” Bar,
And just down the sand
A great one-man band
Where he plays his guitar
and sings like a star
I’m now a big fan
Of that cool rasta man
One Love is the place
Where he’s playin his base
To Foxys they come
To drink of the rum
The stories he’s told
‘bout pirates and gold
He’ll swear that they’re true
While you sample his brew
Real thieves with a sail
Or a really tall tale?
A place from the past
That surely can’t last
I wish it were me
To live by the sea
And you’d better believe
If you come New Year’s Eve
The plan is to stay
From a hard night at play
So take one more look
At your hammock and book
While others make merry
As they wait for the ferry
And wait for the shout
That it’s time to head out
A last look to the bay
To reflect on the day
A real island theme
It’s part of the dream
And I just can’t ignore ‘em
My pals from the forum
You can meet em on-line
These new friends of mine
They’ll plan out your day
For a stay in Cruz Bay
The perfect day sail
Or a hike on reef trail
These friends near and far
They meet at the bar
Not out of reach
But down at the beach
where the sightings are many
Of the man they call Kenny
So give us a try
Drop in and say hi
We share of our fun
In the land of the sun
I’ve hijacked my name
From that man with the fame
A country rock star
I’m b-as-u-r.

OK---I must admit when the idea and the first few lines "came to me" I was enjoying some of the spirits brought back from the last trip. But since I'm no poet it took longer to come up with all that.

B-as-u-r, That is great. I would say you have a gift for the rhyme.
