Vacation

Tic-toc, the sun comes up, arise a new day comes

Free from grind and popping Tums

For now a paradise awaits,

Long days pass, as crimson my skin taints

Blame the sun and palms, but also the sea and salt

Enjoy taco or two with a malt

Tic-toc, the days countdown,

to the end of those sunny days and sleepy sounds

Soon aboard the voyage home

Back to life, of course I moan

Tic-toc, thankful for that bit of rest

to recharge all that and be my best

Count the days to another stay

In that oasis, I say, come crimson skin, come long days!
