Listen and read the poem.
Vacation
By Mary Ann Hoberman
In my head I hear a humming (1):
Summer, summer, summer’s coming.
Soon we’re going on vacation (2),
But there is a complication (3):
Day by day the problem’s growing (4) —
We don’t know yet where we’re going!
Mother likes the country (5) best;
That’s so she can read and rest.
Dad thinks resting (6) is a bore (7);
He’s for fishing at the shore.
Sailing (8) is my brother’s pick (9);
Sailing makes my sister sick (10);
She says swimming’s much more cool (11),
Swimming in a swimming pool.
As for me, why (12), I don’t care,
I’d be happy anywhere!
