THIS PARADISE

Bright light dawns on the side of the hill
Sleep drifts away as the cock crows shrill
Swim before breakfast - healthy and wise
The start of another day in Paradise....


Decisions here take longer - just one before noon
Lie on the terrace? or down by the pool?
We're doing nothing again - there's a surprise
It's a difficult life when you're in Paradise.


Donna looks after us with skill and great care
We watch in amazement - that smile and she's there
She's efficient and friendly, fantastically nice
How can anyone work here in Paradise?


Lunch is a problem - when, where and what?
Sort of just happens - don't need a lot
Drunk on the view (and cocktails and ice!)
Day lazes onward in Paradise


The terrace is still - a haven of peace
The gentle breezes, the hum of the bees
Elsewhere they'd be saying - ah yes, but at what price?
But this is a great gift, this Paradise


The sun sinks lower, impossibly grand
Watched by four friends, drinks in hand
Who're grateful and thankful to two very nice guys
For making it possible, this Paradise ......


T.O. 1995
