IT begins...

Summers end,
I don't mean to offend,
But to the summer visitors,
Get the hell out and don't come back till next summer...


Poem Artwork

The mass exodus,
Summer people leaving before dusk,

Traffic snarled,
Extra police borrowed,

Children crying,
Parent’s wallets sighing,

Landlords cleaning,
Getting properties gleaming,

Residents relieved,
Residents in no way displeased…
©-me- 9/1/14

Yes, I'm sure that residents of any state can't wait
until the tourists leave.

Always,

Well Well WELL ...
JD again...
Raisin Hell ...
If'n it weren't for them thar Tourists
Hard-earned Money ...
Yew Local Yokels' Tax Bills wouldn't be so Sunny !

So now yew can enjoy yer Peace n Quiet ...
N' go back on yer Fastin' Diet ...
Less Treats n' Sweet-Meats ...
N' roll up yer Sidewalks n' Streets!
