A Vacation

A vacation is designed to get away

You plan a certain time to stay.

People have their own idea of where to go,

And people like me just don't know.

Mainly because no where is far enough,

And everywhere has the same stuff.

When you go - you have to take too much,

And you tend to lose touch.

The sun is here and there,

And there seems to be raining everywhere.

If you have seen one sky you've seen them all,

And trees are the same everywhere in the fall.

I just don't like vacations

Because you are tired on all occasions.

The return trip is a like disaster,

And you wonder what you went after.

All summed up-when I arrive

My shadow has still survived.

So if I must carry me

How much fun can a vacation be?
