Twas the Night Before Cruising...

[Luvsnorkeling]

Twas the night before cruising

And all through the house

Not a creature was sleeping,

Not husband, not spouse

The cases were packed

And by the front door with care

Waiting for Uber to soon show up there.

 

And I in excitement was lying awake

Thinking of the trip we were soon going to take.

The sailing, the ship, and the food on my mind,

All we’d been waiting for soon we would find.

When suddenly horrified out of bed I did climb.

The passports! How could I? Almost both left behind!

 

The wife by me blissfully snoring away

Was dreaming of beaches and bright sunny days.

Soon we’d walk up the gangway excited to see

A beautiful atrium filled with laughter and glee.

Sniffing the air we’d head up to the buffet

What a wonderful start to our first cruising day!

 

The party now on! Faces all full of cheer.

Our shipboard vacation is finally here!

Grab the swimsuits, a towel, and get to the pool

Be the first to get there and the chair hogs you’ll rule!

Island music is playing, I feel like a dance

Time for movies and bingo and a bit of romance.

 

Six lobster tails, seven, let’s eat all we can,

They’ll bring you whatever, much more than on land.

Off to the show, who is starring tonight?

And tomorrow in port we’ll see even more sights!

Ah cruising, how relaxing, it’s the best vacay deal,

Can’t wait until morning to start it for real.

 

So with a wink of my eye, and a nod of my head

I’m finally and actually going to bed.

But before I roll over and turn out the light,

Happy cruising to all, and to all a good night!
