Analysis of Anticipation
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
A certain entertainment,
That overwhelms containment
Is the anticipation of going
On vacation.
Your mind begins to wander
Whether you’ll be fonder
Of weather warmer still;
To escape winter’s remnant chill.
A brand new nation, we’re going to Jamaica, Montego Bay
We’re going away and at the Holliday Inn we’re going to stay.
