Hacienda Time

You slip old worries in your pocket,

as you take that road, sublime,

dodging crowds inside the Market Place,

because you want to take your time.

There’s a sunset over Charleston,

and the air is mighty fine.

There is nothing to get back for,

so, you stop by for some wine!

This is happiness on a hillside,

breathing in geraniums,

combined with columbine.

 

It’s a snoozy woozy Tuesday!

It’s a lose-a-day, special news day!

The breeze is full of springtime,

so just let that young sun, shine!

Lie back down upon your lie low.

There’s nowhere that you need to go!

Enjoy a happy Hacienda Time!

 

Ease your foot right off the peddle,

Stop your fussin’, just don’t meddle,

It’s a happy hacienda time!

Drink Bacardi, with a splash of lime,

Learn how to live your life more slowly,

There’s nowhere that you need to go!

Enjoy some happy, happy,

Happy, happy Hacienda Time!

Thanks John.
Learn how to live your life more slowly,
I'm slowly but surely becoming an expert in that😏.
