'Twas the Night Before Cruisin'...

[Shaken_Bake]

Over 12 years ago, when DH and I were about to embark on our first cruise ever, I posted a little ditty about the night before we left. It goes something like this:

 

Twas the night before cruisin’

And all through the house

Every creature was stirring!

Especially me and my spouse!

 

The fancy duds were hung

In the garment bag with care

With visions of boat drinks

Being hoisted in the air!

 

But that's as far as I got. Now, as we are about to embark on our second and third cruises, I remembered this and decided to see if I could get any other talented contributors to add a verse. Arrrrgghhh, it's getting late and I have so much to do! See you on the other side!

This is a poem someone sent me about cruising. Don't know who the writer was but credit to them.

 

Twas the night before Cruising, when all through the house

Excitement was mounting, even the spouse

The suitcases were packed by the door with care

In hopes that the morning would soon be here

 

The husband was nestled all snug in his bed

With visions of cocktails dancing in his head

And me in my nightie, checking my swimmers and hats

Had just printed our passes for the quick morning dash

 

Driving to the port, so lively and quick

I knew in a moment we'd be seeing the ship

The heart skipped a beat when it came into view

Our Princess cruise ship - oh how I love you

 

We sprang to the queue, to get our room key with glee

And we danced to the boarding gate like birds flying free

Then we head for a photo, with a smile so sweetly

"Welcome Back to Princess", let's escape completely
