A.N.1: Another prompted piece (the prompt is the title), this one from a split point of view. Enjoy!


Another Day in Paradise

-

Elizabeth:

I sit at my desk and read a report

About some world just like a tropic resort.

Someone knocks on my door. Another complaint?

Oh this really is trying my self-restraint.

He goes on and on, but I nod and I smile

Thinking no doubt this will take quite a while.

-

My head starts to ache as he drones about rice,

Just another day in paradise.

-

John:

I slip and my face hits the floor with a smack

Too slow at avoiding Ronon's hard whack.

The big guy just smiles- he knows that he wins-

His right hook is worse than all manner of sins.

We've been at this all day, sparring for hours

And all that I want is to just hit the showers.

-

I leave the gym finally, longing for ice.

Just another day in paradise.

-

Both:

The breeze is so cool as we step out the door,

And the day melts away to be trouble no more.

The balcony's quiet, the ocean is calm

And your hand feels just right tucked away in my palm.

We lean on the railing, enjoying the night.

Our city indeed is a beautiful sight.

-

Your arms are around me - the feeling's so nice-

Just another day in paradise.
