Anticipation for the Daily Post
Up the River
Up the Swanee River
In anticipation
Awaiting
What the waters will deliver
Will it be dengue fever?
Will there be falling timber?
A very cold winter?
Maybe Long John Silver?
Never mind,
We are still awaiting
In anticipation
What the waters will deliver

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Ship Ahoy!
Ship ahoy!
This is not a ploy
But the real McCoy
We even invited Floyd
And now,
We are ready to deploy
On a trip of joy!

Anticipation for the Daily Post
Lift-Off
With growing anticipation
Waiting to leave this station
Without any hesitation
Travelling across the nation
In one big celebration
But…
“What is the hold up?
We are ready for lift off!”

Athens, Acropolis, Greece
When it Athens
Do as the Athenians do;
Climb up the stairs
Pay a little fare
Gorgeous views
Will pay all dues

When ever you’re driving
On any Greek island
You can find
The architectural diamonds

Helsinki Archipelago, Finland
The dream of every Finn
Especially,
When their patience is waring thin
Is go for a weekend spin
In a small boat,
To a very remote
Island, where there is no inn
Just the one small cabin

Athens, Acropolis, Greece
The ancient ruins
Of the historic Acropolis
A place of fun,
A place of knowledge
Climb the steps
You may even get –
Astonished!

Travel around the globe
There is one thing, you can hope
To see that something, unique
That may even be shrouded, in mystique

Mallorca, Spain
When on Mallorca
No need for a parka
It’s milder than Jakarta
And you can even do, the mazurka

People living in glass houses
Don’t have to worry about mouses
But they may have, a few passersby
Doing some browsing
Into their see through dwelling
“Oh, just be chillin’
It ain’t done with illin’ “
