Midsummer's Day Exquisiteness

Those two guys arrived safely;
In Sweden so gladly;
In Stockholm at noon in June;
After a four-day business stay,
On the island of Bermuda in May,
Giving zesty three-day promotional trade speeches,
And talked business to folks from other lands;
Then came the most important holiday of the year;
Midsummer's Eve, one of those de facto holidays,
For Swedes in so many ways;
Here comes Midsummer’s Day alive in full glitzy array.

Hail the glorious summer season;
Winter long in Sweden;
Midsummer’s Day the best of summer;
Nature strikes colorful blooms of pleasure;
The pristine summer steaming with real leisure;
First time they viewed beautiful double rainbow;
Taking many colourful photos of merry maypole dancers;
Midsummer’s Day is as vibrant as the Bajan Cropover;
Dancing to songs round maypole at Papplewick;
The crowds so merry and thick;
Wearing wild flower wreaths to Wendholm’s Fisk for dinner.
