Vacation mode

 I woke to gentle morning rays

And sprinkling rain.


Tiny black and white birds

Flitted about excitedly 

Whistling and warbling

Tunes so melodious 

While two inquisitive crows

On the ledge below me

Stared, hopped and cawed-

Raspy news broadcasters-

Attempting  to dominate the peaceful surroundings -

wake the world,

And spread misinformation!


A rather large verdant pasture

Yet unclaimed by

Multimillionaire builders 

Welcomed a few hundred, obedient sheep

Hearded by a wisp of a girl

While early morning walkers

 and sprightly joggers

Sprinted up the hill

Filling  me with guilt.


But who cares!


Kids frolicked in the park below

Not a worry in the world.


It's another day to do as I please 

To loll, scroll, stroll,

 plan and dream

Of what else to do

On a cool monsoon day.


Just doing nothing

Is oh so relaxing

I am on vacation!
