A weekend in Key West


Sometimes you have to tell your job to shove it


And skip town at noon


To hunt for shell shaped Christmas ornaments


And taste coconut water.


So much depends on a Jimmy Buffett-type


Singing beside the white chickens.


You'll head down to the ocean


But wind up at a bar, swear you've seen a ghost


(or something to that effect),


and when you finally go to bed, you'll sleep like a rock


With a belly full of lobster.
