Castaway Island

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “The Young and the Rested.”

A few years ago we vacationed on Castaway Island in Fiji. For anyone who has seen the Tom Hanks movie Castaway, Castaway Island is in the same group of islands as to where the movie was shot (day trips are also offered to that specific island). Spending a few days on Castaway Island was like spending a few days in a tropical island heaven. No cars, all food prepared, water, snorkeling, sun, sand. And not forgetting the very friendly Pacific Islanders. Bula!

Apple in my Bag

image

I broke the law of another land
A fresh apple was in my bag
Apple was green, it belonged to me
And no customs had been signed

I had no cash, I could not pay
The fine that was handed to me
I promised to pay, they said okay
Allowed me on my way

Time to leave, I paid the fine
But not within the week
The plane was there, I caught a glimpse
But my passport had been blocked

Do not allow, she must not leave
We will not let her go
I had to wait, I could not pass
Fresh apple had tied me down

Seconds passed and minutes too
My heart near skipped it’s beat
I had to sit, I had to wait
Until told that I could leave
