Such joy our time at the shore
Many things we did each day
Making sandcastles on the beach
Swimming in the bay
We rode a pontoon boat
Fantasy Island such a joy
The Ferris wheel and lots of games
The little one loved winning a toy
The locals are all so pleasant
A guided ghost tour one night
We learned of Jaws and haunts
Trembled from all those sights
A museum full of ocean treasure
Disasters of the island on display
Rumrunners and scuba gear
Artifacts from depths unknown
Many memories were made
Can’t wait until next year
But now our week must end
From this place, we hold so dear
We love summers on the island
We hate to say farewell
To sand and sun and all the fun
Our wonderful escape was swell
