      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
