How about...

....going to a real different place,
far away, where there's no rat race?
Some place down south of the equator,
you can slow down, you'll feed greater.

American Samoa, it's the only US territory,
south of the equator, the land tells the story;
a group of island in the South Pacific Ocean,
has a following to show their devotion.
This is the beach in a place named Toaga,
nice coral sand, when you walk, it's a two legga,
and beaches like this are easily found,
on the volcanic island, where they grow out of the ground.
A little inland, away from the sea,
there's a white tropical bird, for you to see,
lush growth of plants make an island of green,
could be one of the nicest places that you have seen.
This is the Cardinal Honeyeater, not very big,
being the island's hummingbird is his gig;
the beak helps take the nectar from each flower,
small enough to sit on a petal for it's bower.
The Collared Kingfisher doesn't eat fish,
it likes insects served on it's dish,
there must be big bugs, that's all I can say,
look at the size of the beak, sure looks' that way.
Look at this one! Wow, holy cow,
what in the world are we looking at now?
It's not a bat, it's a big flying fox,
we won't take this one home in a box.
A last look around, these are the Pola Islands,
sure hate to leave, the lovely islands,
so, we'll stay tomorrow, and dive in the reefs;
that way nobody has any beefs.

See you tomorrow, got a snorkel?
