Hale to the Hale Hearted!

by Cliff

Hail to Thee!  O Islands Virgin!

Destination of our Major Excursion.

Hail to Thee!  O Cinnamon Bay!

A delightful place to stay.

Hail to Thee!  O Bay called Maho!

The food is great. Not far to go.

Hail to Thee!  Each Jitney Safari!

Comfortable ride (?), and ten you carry.

Hail to Thee!  Fine cove and beach!

Some were near, some far to reach.

Hail to Thee!  Each curve and hill!

With experienced drivers - never a spill.

Hail to Thee!  Active Participant!

Those in a cottage; and those in a tent.

Hail to Thee!  Brave Ann and Bill!

Extreme snorkeling was your greatest thrill.

Hail to Thee!  Fair Barbara B and Julie!

Tent mates! Relaxed! Not Unruly!

Hail to Thee!  Lovely Judith and Mary!

Hardly a word or act contrary.

Hail to Thee!  Kindreds Winslow and Helen!

Punctuality is definitely what you excel in.

Hail to Thee!  Resourceful Muriel and Jim!

'Twas on the internet that she found him.

Hail to Thee!  Both Henry and RIck!

As cottage mates - you were a good pick.

Hail to Thee!  Efficient Ralph and Jenni!

Leadership skills, superb and many.

Hail to Thee!  Cross Island Eight!

Never a fall! And a good steady gait.

Sadly now, our hours are few.

Packing is what's left to do.

Flights are scheduled (for what its worth)

To the frigid, snow North.

Hail to Thee!  O Cinnamon Bay!

Perhaps we'll meet again some day.

*****************

Hail to Thee!  Distance hike leader Cliff!

All switchback road hills, you finessed in a jiff

And never dumped anyone over the cliff.

Great thanks to our Co-leader, naturalist Cliff.
