A Dream Review In Verse (Part 1)

Greetings, friends, and fellow cruisers, DOD drinkers, chair hog abusers,

Complainers, drunks and steak house diners, Carnival cheerleaders, trolls and whiners.

Early savers, compulsive plkanners, kids who haven't learned their manners.

Balcony snobs, inside roomers, flamers, blamers, gloom and doomers.

Cigar afficianados (stogie smokers) hairy-chesters, karaokers.

Show attenders, belly floppers, sushi eaters, champagne poppers.

Liquor smugglers, countdown clockers, dreamers, schemers, NCL knockers.

And those who like the wife and me, just dream of days upon the sea.

The director of this little cruise will be Calliope, the poet's muse.

Guide me, Cal, in this endeavor, for many time I've wished I'd never

Tried to write a review in verse. Poetic ambition can be a curse,

And many times I sworn to quit, cursed and said "to hell with it,"

But onward and upward, excelsior! Maybe I can rhyme just one line more,

And share with cruisers far and near, on this the world-wide blogosphere

Our happy times, the sounds and sights, of seven days and seven nights

Of bliss.

And so upon the Sabbath day we packed the car and made our way

To the port of embarkation, to leave behind the daily grind for our nautical vacation.

Farewell dogs, goodbye cat, hello sunscreen and tropical hat.

I've packed clean undies for a week. Sure hope those Rumrunners don't leak

Or my stuff will smell just like Knob Creek.

Get a move on, wifey dear, boarding time is drawing near.

Time to leave, the ship is waiting. No more of yourprocrastinating.

We are packed and we are ready, for our date with Funship Freddy.

Sitting home reading this, makes we want some cruising bliss. So, I look forward to reading your posts, ‘cause where

you are, is what I love most.
