Ready For Vacation Poem by Randy McClave

I am ready to buy my ticket and pack my bag
While also preparing myself for the jet lag,
I am wanting to be there tomorrow, wished I had left yesterday
I so dreadfully need relaxation and fun for my holiday.
Over the mountains and an ocean I will fly
I am so excited to wave to everyone, Bye-bye,
Then in a couple of hours or more at my destination I will arrive
Then at my temporary home I won't be bored, but alive.
I will eat only at the finest restaurants that I can find
Fast-foods and microwaving I am leaving it all behind
It will be nice dressing up and making reservations to eat
I am so tired of ordering my food from my driver's seat,
Then after dinner I might head back to my room
Or maybe first I will do some shopping, I assume,
Strangers I will see and I will meet them everywhere
It will be great not to hear of someones problems while I am there.
While I am vacationing no one will know me or my name
With their problems or their financial woes, I won't be to blame,
Historic monuments and museums I am so excited to tour
My excitement and my joy I can most certainly assure.
I will walk here or there or happily take the public transportation
It will be great me knowing that I won't be driving on my vacation,
Open your eyes and your mind there is beautiful world for all to see
A bored adventurer and explorer is now me.
