Glancing across
The glorious Tagus
From a high vantage point
Janine stopped to smoke a joint
Then a stroll down the sunkissed Alfama streets
A trip to Lisbon would not be complete
Without a tram ride to Belem
And Benfica and Sporting stadiums
But Janine is not a fan of football
So i take her shopping afterwards.Cause she’s beautiful
Then a bar before returning to our hotel
Couldn’t wish for a better travel companion.She is swell
I just wish she’d embrace the “Beautiful Game”
Still, i realize i love her all the same
As we wake and shower then prepare for the next day
The Gulbenkian foundation on our itenary
Hop onĀ a tram to The Chiado
Then board the funicular to Bairro Alto
Hang out with writers and artists
Go to bars and get pissed.
A sandwich next morning in a cafe
Then take in Avenida da Liberdade
Where Janine french kissed me…..then whispered in my ear
“I love you Stephen , you’re funny and sincere”
Our Lisbon vacation
Ended in an excursion.
A short journey to the splendid Cascais resort
Janine went topless on the beach.She is a good sport
Our memories of Lisbon, long may they last
As the plane touches down at Gatwick and it’s overcast……
