Home Away from Home

Breakout the bikinis, August is here,

Time to swim in the ocean and jump off the pier.

Off to the cottage, pack up the car,

It’s always a trip though it may not be far,

We meet up with the Smiths,

They’re just like my family,

Cross over the border,

And drive along happily.

By the end of the day,

We get to Ridgeway.

Then look around town,

Driving the streets up and down.

Finally! There it is, from here I can see it,

The green and white cottage,

A perfect fit!

Temptation

Temptation is burgundy, 

It smells like hot chocolate chip cookies cooling on your kitchen counter.

 It tastes like the cake you were offered while on a diet. It sounds like the CD you don’t have enough money to buy yet. 

It feels like the silky fabric on that new designer dress you’re about to splurge on. It looks like the $10 bill on your best friends dresser while she’s not in the room. 

Temptation is a strong wanting but having enough strength to quench it.
