At a family gathering
Sam Adams talked
About travel plans
Making vacation itineraries.

Set the clock
For dawn
Looking at the
fallen leaves
on the ground

Winter storm warnings
Dark nights ahead.

He announced


"Barbados is beckoning
The rum sours
are waiting "

it is time to
escape to the islands.

To escape the winter blues
where it is always
a summer day

amazing weather
Happy people
Enjoying the perfect weather

eating coconut
mango and passion fruit
ice cream


He put on the old classic
steel drum song

"Come back to Barbados
Come back to me "


He could hear
The steel pan bands

playing Reggae and
Socca tunes on the beach
in his mind.
