“Alaska You”


 

Alaska I believe you will thrill me


With pure delight beyond all expectation


And I heard this rumor


Even the Prince of Wales said


He prefers Alaska’s salmon


To Scottish farmed fish…oh dear!

This morning

I had fish for breakfast

And it took me on a trip to Alaska

My Imagination took over

And took me there

Deep into Alaska

I enjoyed the sightseeing

And Fairbanks

A gold mining town

Alaska I believe

Is the land without fences!

Where animals truly outnumber people


A place where nature reigns supreme

I wish I could share a moment in time

With some of the most wonderful animals on earth

A place where Humpback whales migrate to the waters


A place where I can come face-to-face

With monumental icebergs

The imagery in my head

Snow-white mountaintops

Untouched like a virgin bride

Alaska I believe 


You are beautiful


You thrill me from afar

And catch me a pretty winter bunny (the kind that walks on two feet, lol)

Nice work

Tinka, first it was spiders, then pizzas, now Alaska. My friend, try a baked Alaska. It's heaven on earth. You can find the recipe easily enough. Victor

Alaska is a beautiful state. I am thrilled it has freezing temperatures that prevent many from living there. It is one of the few places left in the world where the animals ae still free.

Having visited Alaska a few times - I think you would truly love it, Tinky. And I would move up there in a second, if my wife would agree. It's one of the last pristine places left on the North American continent.
