AVOIDING PARADISE



For my own safety
Gonna avoid paradise
Fiji Islands
Rained seven days
Washed away the beach
In Mexico saw huge waves
All night pounding winds on the roof
Thought we were blown away
Morning they said, "Tsunami in Fiji islands!"
Waited for water to recede
To leave out lodging dead fish
Last time on big Island
The radio was saying, "This is not a test
try to find high ground!"
We did!Second attempt this week
Six in the morning alarms in our room
8.8 earthquake in Chili
Evacuate immediately
False alarm send us inland
The island paradise just doesn't like
DANDY--------RUN dANDY RUN!
