Colin Casbolt - "The Bard"

The new holiday curse of all - inclusiveness seems here to stay, though really what's the point of travelling apart from the weather. Resorts and hotels become nests for nervous holidaymakers unable to start to enjoy something different, as they will miss out on what they have paid for.

All Inclusive
I think this year I've come to Spain
At least it doesn't rain
I think they said so on the plane

This year we have gone inclusive
So we won't go out
Not round about
We've already paid for everything
Eh my God it makes you think
To see the cash that we laid out
Just so that we can laze about

The wife said seeing it's all free
This is where we've got to be
"It's paid for - isn't it so have fun
You've got the bar, the pool, the sun"

Our Johnny got sick yesterday
I told our guide, they'll have to pay
He'd only had what we'd paid for
Twenty Fantas, 14 lollies - nothing more
Plus the odd Mars
But me I love the bars
Free bars
Well kind of free for me!!

Brandy, Whiskey, Vodka, Tia Maria
Baileys, Cointreau flow all day
You simply don't have to pay
Strange though they are all funny brands
I guess they're ther best from distant lands

I've looked at Spain - it looks all right
Hills in the day - lights at night
But next year I'll go somewhere strange
T'will make a change, yes somewhere strange
I wonder where the plane will go
Who gives a damn, who needs to know
Cos we'll go
All inclusive
