Poetic Verses
Time In Barbados
When the plane decreased elevation to land on your shores
Such a happiness overcame me and my elation explodes
Glad even if for a short time I can spend at home
So that i can visit some places and let my mind really roam.
Oh! How what happiness it is to be back in my parish, and village
Looking foward to enjoy, all those ladies coo coo dishes
The sit with my friends and let my senses be aroused
By the aroma of that famed black pudding and souse.
No towering mountains, that depict such an imposing sight
But those hills, that dotted the landscape, are just right
And whilst driving at nights, one can see something so breathtaking
As those houses on the elevation, portray such beauty, with their lighting.
Home now I can relax, frolic and shake ofF all that stress
Going to the beach, laze in the water, then get some rest
In the shade of the cusuarina on the brown spread, is where i sleep
Then in my dreams, those fond boyhood memories will creep.
As i enter the rum shops and bars, there is always some discussion
Such as politics, sports, jokes, tall tales and even the world's recession.
Here in good and under the spirits, there is such a diversity of opinions
So when you leave you are not only filled with drinks, but get an education.
Blessed with a variety of places where one could shop
In the main towns or country malls, one can make many stops
Mingling with the tourists, natives and cruise passengers
Who are capitivated by the citizen's knowledge and manners.
That night life is wonderful too, it is something to remember
One can wine, dine, talk and dance into the morning's wee hour
The music is such a variety, and the artists can perform as one needs
So there is much to tell ones friends and family when one leaves.
As always all things including fun must come to an end
Regrettably, i have to depart your lovely shores again
But the strength of your attraction is in such a surplus
So I will always be pulled to your shores beautiful Barbados.
