Another Thursday Morning

Tony Payne
Another Thursday morning
Another day of work
The rain is lashing against the windshield
As the radio begins to play "Margueritaville"

It's rare to here Jimmy Buffet in the UK
And the song takes me back to Key West
Watching the sun set in Mallory Square
The beach at Bahia Honda Key
A glorious long weekend two years ago

But then the traffic comes to another halt
And jogs me back to reality
Another Thursday morning
Another day of work

    Music can transport you (your mind) to more favorable times. I only listen to the oldies because they make me happy.

    Oh, yeah, I LOVE Buffett!

    Okay, I don't usually read poetry, but I feel your pain.

    I take vacations in my mind all the time. Nice piece!

    It really is, you are right. Very often I listen to a song from years ago and it transports me back to those days. It's odd how we retain those links over so many years isn't it.

    It was nice, but I soon came back to reality when the traffic began to move again. Oh well, that's what happy memories are for...
