Where to Retire -- a Poem for Friday Writings

    A Town I Dream Of  

If there's a town in my dreams 

One where I would like to live 

Then I wouldn't remember 

'cause I don't remember dreams 

So I'm going to tell you 

Tell you some towns that I like 

Towns to which I'd run away 

There's Sydney, Australia 

Sydney is a pretty town 

Goes easy on their seniors 

A dollar lasts all day long 

All day rides the mass transit 

Seniors treated very nicely 

There but other places too 

Rio, Santiago, Rome 

Victoria, and Key West 

My slim budget says Key West 

Live on the street like a bum 

Food and bed, Salvation Army 

Chat with tourists, they will buy 

U.S Medicare works there 

Relatives will often come 

..

Chickens are birds, therefore protected species in Key West.  Also protected are cats.
