Annual stress check (or Over a Cliff)


Tickets, passport, sun cream and a hat

Rummage in the loft, suitcase, packed

Shuffling, coats off, liquids in plastic bag

Security, x-ray fluids? A chemistry lesson never had

The shopping mall, runway attached

Excessive confection, positioned to attract

Flight called, stressed and the loyal board first

Lengthy taxi, rumble, airborne,

Blue skies, on our way

 

Huffing and puffing at baggage reclaim

Well it has been 5 minutes

Heat attacks you to make the transfer to immersion

A different culture, language – PANIC - wrong side of the road!

Relax?

Arrive too soon, too quick to be the ‘right’ side of 3 pm

Reception plays the part – click, click – no room (yet) at this inn

Meander to the pool, loungers guarded by elderly and infirm relatives

Your limbs and attire howler new arrivals!

Finally mid-afternoon is achieved

Reception, sterile, process started from the beginning

 

Formula for the summer holiday

Eat, drink, beach, pool, tour

Repeat for x days

Then reverse first section

Book by Christmas for following year – discount

The apprehension!
