Читать книгу The Story of a Guest House - Nathan - Страница 2

My name is Sunny Florida Vacation Home

For so many years I was by my own

My owners left me, I was in tears

Just bored all the time and

was full of fears

One day I got lucky, new owners came

Since then I am happy and playing the game

This game is so simple and easy for me

I welcome people – they visit me

I am the Sunny Florida Guest House,

my life is full of joy

Rules of the game are – just stay and enjoy!

And now it’s time to present you my team:

Nathan, the spirit, I am thankful to him!

He writes down my stories, accompanies me,

He is my sole-mate and doc, it could be

There are so many creatures outside and around

The Rabbit, the Owl, the Frog on the ground

The Woodpecker on the tree, the Gator with wife

They make our place and backyard full of life!

Almost forgot, the Turtle in pond

The lady is susceptive but not very old

For me it’s a pleasure to be with my team

Great number of guests we’ve already seen

People from all over the world come for

Manatee swim

Cause Manatee dive is every child’s dream!

Summer is the busiest time of the year

Scallops catching is so popular hear

My location is close to all the activities

I am cozy inside with all the facilities

«Snowbirds» come to catch up with sun

Kick back and relax! Why not have some fun…

Hey guys, just between us and to tell you the truth

Nathan and I witnessed some sort of confuse

There was the time – one family came

The reason for visiting was all the same:

Just lay back and relax, bike, hike, swim and play

Visit some relatives, nothing to say

When finished unpacking it was already dark

Too late for adventure or go to the park

Daddy and kids stayed inside playing cards

Their Mom couldn’t wait to examine my backyard

It wasn’t the luckiest day for the Mother

She slipped, fell in pond, despaired calling for Father

Sinking in pond she stepped on the Turtle

and Gator with wife

All of them screamed, scared for their lives

Immediately Daddy was on his way

Pulled Mommy out of water from danger away…

Another day a family of eight checked in

Two folks and six active and curious teens

They stayed for a few days and visited places

Have eaten all the candies that brought in their suitcases

When parents gone shopping kids got an idea:

To kayak and fish in my pond, catch some tilapia

They threw their bait… Jesus Christ! Oh, my God!

Instead of the fish Gator’s wife what they caught!

Teens start to pull, but she was a big lady

To such an occasion, teens were not ready

They dropped everything and split up away

Happily, Gator was back on his way…

He went out for food for his dearest wife

And when he came back, she was hooked, but alive!

He pulled out the rod and took care of her

By using some herbs cured her very sore jaw

For she can see better he got her swim glasses

To stay out of troubles in case of trespassers

Kids, be attentive and read warning signs

Your careless doings could end up in fines

«No Trespassing!» sign is there not for fun

That family trip could have been over not even begun

Gators and Turtles are friendly, of course
