World Cruise

I got a brochure in the mail

To book a world cruise, setting sail

For a journey at sea,

Just my husband and me,

Where good times would most surely prevail.

 

Departure is not for two years

And the price would put us in arrears

If the suite that we choose

Is the Owner’s to use,

Though I’m hoping he never appears.

 

The ship spends five months’ worth of days

With the ocean awaiting our gaze

And I’m sure so much food

Cooked to fit every mood

Would increase what each passenger weighs.

 

Since our usual trips last a week

And our bodies aren’t quite at their peak,

I think maybe we’ll pass,

Letting someone first class

Find whatever adventures they seek.
