Karma, A Maine Tourist

(3^rd in Saga of Karma)

The ride on the plane was really a snap,

Tucked safely beneath the seat

But for an occasional air pocket or two,

I think flying is pretty darn neat.

So, this is Maine! I’m finally here!

From one extreme to the other;

Leaving New Mexico’s sun behind

In exchange for Maine’s crisp weather.

First stop…a visit with Twilah,

She’s not so bad…though she worried

That I’d somehow get lost when

Through all the rooms I scurried.

Next came a tour along the coast, 

And wading in the ocean foam,

The sun was really beating down!

Ahhh… reminded me of home.

Sightseeing along the way was fun,

Even romping on Popham Beach,

My mistress didn’t want to lose me,

So I  had to stay within reach.

Later on came the yummiest part,

Dinner on ‘Old Orchard Beach Pier,’

Succulent Maine lobsters… mmm good!

I could really get into living here!

Vacation was topped off with a wedding,

Lots of  music, dancing and such,

Peeked out from my place of hiding…

The festivities just a bit too much.

Spending our last day in Portland, with

DiMilo’s floating restaurant the ‘finis’,

Now, eating lunch while on the water

Seemed strangely unfamiliar to me.

All too soon we were homeward bound, 

Flying high in the wide blue yonder,                        

Twilah says she’s going to miss me…that

We’ll meet again soon…hmmm, I wonder!
