‘Twas weeks before new year’s
And all through the home
Was last-minute planning
Booking fun on smartphones
But this family, you see
Planned closer to home
A staycation, they called it
The whole province to roam
“What’s this?” Said the mother
As she googled hotels
“A tax credit for our stay!
“It also covers motels!”
That’s 20% off
Your bed to lay,
Just make sure your trip
is before New Year’s Day.
So don’t spend those bucks
On a pricey air flight
Come up to the Highlands
Spend the day and the night!
Some fun at Sir Sam’s
The local ski club
Then relax with a tottie
In a LEGAL hot tub
There’s bakeries and breweries
With real country charm
Or try something different
Like an alpaca farm
The places! The flavours!
Bring all of your friends
There’s so much to savour
The fun never ends.
Ice skating, ice fishing,
Ice cream or ice wine
So many choices
For such a great time
ON Minden, ON Millbrook
ON Haliburton too, ON Kinmount
ON Woodville, all Ontario too
Now dash away, dash away, dash away all
Enjoy the tax credit WE sent your way,
A little something extra for your holiday.
