Making Hay



Hi, hello, warm greetings; aloha and shalom.
It's so good to see you.
It's good to have you home.
Sit down, take a breather; surrender and unwind.
It's time to take it easy.
It's time for peace of mind.
Imbibe, swig a cocktail; tip a toast and enjoy.
It's so fine to hail you.
It's fine to have you buoy.
Munch, slake an appetite; nourish and satisfy.
It's time to feed hunger.
It's time for homemade pie.
Play your most loved music; party and dance tonight.
It's so nice to move you.
It's nice to hold you tight.
Goodnight, catch extra winks; sleep-in until midday.
It's time to dream awhile.
It's time for making hay.
