dbmiller1956 Posted August 28, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Well, the time is getting closer and we're down to 21 days. I can't wait to sit on the Lido Deck and watch the beautiful waves. I've pulled the luggage out the closet and piled it on the floor. I've started hanging all the clothes on the back of the bathroom door. I'm trying really hard to contain myself and act like a mature adult. But deep inside I'm jumping up and down and yelling like a crazy nut. :D It's only 21 days!!!! :D Deena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoray Posted August 28, 2004 #3 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yo! Deena, Just for fun..... Why not try to add one short verse each day till you leave. You've got the 1st three days covered already. If the edit-time expires, you can copy/paste/add. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmfriedman Posted August 28, 2004 #6 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Alas I have but only seven days until I get to heaven. I can't wait to board the Glory Sure to return with quite the story. Stories, perhaps, not only one... After all, a week of fun! Funship Freddy will be there, The rest of us without a care. Warm blue seas and bright blue skies, Orient beach... avert your eyes! Thomas, John, Caribbean Saints Sure to leave us sans complaints. Stewards, dealers, waiters, pursers, No more email! No more cursors! Will my colleagues turn to stone When they can't reach me on my phone? Work this week will be a blur While waiting for a nice liqueur. Now I have to count the days Until I can soak up the rays! I'm not sure how I'll get through - Simply not enough to do. What to do to pass the time -- Come up with another rhyme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joanagain Posted August 28, 2004 #9 Share Posted August 28, 2004 oh, i found it, i found it...please indulge me... just two of the verses: ... So it`s home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again, and there i long to be, In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars. Oh, London is a man's town, there's power in the arir; and Paris is a woman`s town,with flowers in the hair; And it`s sweet to dream in Venice, and it`s great to study Rome; But when it comes to living...there is no place like home. ... Henry Van Dyke thats all folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I might need feathers? :confused: It's only 19 Days!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
