The winter white landscape And pointed icicles hanging on the trees
Outside his suburban Virginian house
Suddenly shivering He told his wife,
“Time to escape the winter blues”
They booked a flight to Barbados
Arrived on a nice balmy day.
They went to their hotel,
Hung out on the beach,
Drinking Mt Guy rum sours,
Liming with the locals.
Eating fried flying fish filets.
Bajan style.
Thinking they should retire
To the islands,
As Barbados beckoned him
To stay.
Note: I lived in Barbados back when I was a US Diplomat. Bajan is the local name for Barbados and also the dialect which is a patois similar to Trinidad and Jamaican patios. liming is Bajan for having a drink with friends.
