Postcard Wishes 

By Bill Kirk 

Just got to my “room”. 

There are windows galore— 

On all sides, in fact, 

From ceiling to floor. 

A post at each corner, 

In the middle, a mast; 

We’ll tie off our hammocks 

Oh, wow! What a blast! 

We’ll sleep in “plein aire”— 

A canopy above. 

We four happy strangers— 

Hey! What's up with the shove!? 

What do you mean, 

Those "shoves" are a gale 

And our very large tent 

Is now a large sail? 

You’ve got to be kidding! 

Pack up my gear? 

Vacation is over? 

Wish I weren’t here....
