Benidorm, like it or lump it?

Well now that i'm back, i can tell you where i've been,
not much to see, but everywhere is clean!
The flight going out was a near miss,
along with my cousin who needed a p***!
The icelandic volcano gave everyone strife,
but me, i took it as part of my life.
Then early next morning, we were up, up and away,
to sun, sea and sand on our strange holiday.

My cousins son, was there with a scooter,
left with the bags, i nearly parped his hooter!
drinks to refresh us and rest our legs,
its hot already in my sweaty kegs!
A room with a view and a draft open window,
the noise aint too bad, but i got my own pillow.
Goldie and Tia, the owners two pets,
1 hisses and scratches, the other just begs!

Early next morning, outside at the cafe,
enjoying my english, and having a laughy,
planning my morning and afternoon trip,
to stay with a friend for 2 nights kip!
Margaret an ex-pat, a 7 yr resident,
tells me she needs to vote in a president,
at the meeting next day for all the flatlets,
while my camera goes missing and i start to fret!
Nothing i can do but translate my woe,
on the return journey, i show the staff my note.

The weekend goes quick, the sun gets hotter,
i splash on my lotion before i potter,
the sunday market and the local shops,
everythings cheap, and my brow gets mopped!
tonights its my birthday, a meal out, thats nice
to con the chinese for a gift with my rice,
its really my friend, but she cant be here,
she's back at home, enjoying fags and beer!
an ashtray and mug with a spanish slogan,
to wish you were here, without the commotion!

The return journey is quicker than the first,
and all i seem to do is quench my thirst,
i am stiff from travel, position just sat,
nearly 24 hours doing just that.
Glad to be home, welcomed by Kerry,
maybe next time i'll go by Ferry,
to avoid the smoke you cant go by plane,
but in the UK, there's always the train!
