“E.U. agrees to reopen to vaccinated visitors…”
The New York Times

Hi, vaccinated visitor!
Meet Val and Vic and Viv!
Come visit Venice, Val d’Isère!
Your visa’s valid: Live!

Vaxed, vetted, voguing to the max,
Vamp V for Victory
Served vintage vino, gravlax snacks,
Vast vistas of the sea!

We’re taking reservations; view
The varied values now.
Willkommen! Sveiki! Bienvenue!
Oi! ¡Ven aquí! Viz: Ciao!
